Erling Haaland has quickly cemented himself as one of football’s best current goalscorers and he set several records in 2022/23 before making a bright start to the 2023/24 season, including a 38-minute hat-trick in a 5-1 home win over Fulham on September 2.
The Norway striker has an uncanny ability to find the back of the net and has done so everywhere he’s gone. Now he’s helped Manchester City win the UEFA Champions League for the first time to cap off an incredible individual season by adding to his Premier League and FA Cup medal.
Standing just shy of two metres tall, but with lightning quick speed, Haaland is next to unstoppable in the final third.
At the age of 23, and with so much of his career still to come, the forward looks poised to score many goals and break many more records in the process.
The Sporting News takes a look at his latest goals and records so far with Manchester City.

Erling Haaland goal that broke Premier League record
Haaland got his Premier League single-season individual record 35th goal against West Ham in May 2023 and with a delightful chip of the goalkeeper on a throughball from his buddy Jack Grealish.
He obliterated the 34-goal mark set by Alan Shearer and Andy Cole during the 1990, adding one more before the end of the campaign to finish on 36.

Erling Haaland Champions League goals
Haaland won the Champions League Golden Boot, too.
A reminder that, in addition to scoring in both quarterfinal legs against Bayern Munich, Haaland scored a record-tying five goals in a single Champions League match when he helped bury RB Leipzig 6-0 in a Round of 16 second-leg match played at the Etihad. That made him only the second player in the history of the competition after Lionel Messi (2011/12) to score five goals in a knockout-round fixture.
Haaland surpassed his personal record total for goals in a single Champions League tournament, blowing by his mark of 10 in eight matches in 2020/21 for Borussia Dortmund, when he also won the Golden Boot.
He became the quickest player to 30 Champions League goals in history, beating out Man United great Ruud van Nistelrooy.
