In the 17th round of the English Premier League, Manchester City hosted West Ham United at their home ground, securing a confident 3-0 victory. This win further strengthened the "Citizens'" position in the title race.
The primary hero for the hosts, as usual, was Erling Haaland. The Norwegian striker scored twice, recording a brace in the match. Another goal was contributed by Tijjani Reijnders. These goals completely reflected the team’s dominance during the game.
Haaland’s brace not only determined the outcome of the match but also left a significant mark on his personal statistics. The 25-year-old forward has now scored a total of 104 goals in the English Premier League, climbing another rung in the top scorers’ list.
With this achievement, Haaland has surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo in EPL history and equaled Didier Drogba. Notably, Ronaldo, during two spells in the English league, scored a total of 103 goals while playing for Manchester United.
What is remarkable is that Haaland reached this milestone in a much shorter time than his competitors. Since joining "Manchester City" in the summer of 2022, he has scored 104 goals in just 140 Premier League appearances. This efficiency once again proves the exceptional level of the striker.
In the current season, Haaland's form has been even more dazzling. He has played 17 games in the EPL, scoring 19 goals and providing 3 assists. As a result, the Norwegian is confidently leading the top scorers' race.
In summary, Haaland is not only one of the main strengths of "City" today but is also cementing his name in history as the most dangerous and effective striker in the entire Premier League.
