Manchester City host Brighton in the 29th round of the 2024-25 Premier League season. Haaland wrote Premier League history again with a penalty, becoming the first player to score 100 goals in fewer than 100 games.
Haaland had already scored 20 goals away from Tottenham, becoming only the second player after Ruud van Nistelrooy to score at least 20 goals in each of his first three seasons in the Premier League. This time against Brighton, Haaland showed his killer nature again.
In the eighth minute of the game, Marmouche rushed into the penalty area and was tackled by Webster, the referee decisively awarded a penalty. Haaland hit the penalty to give City the lead. The goal was not only Haaland’s 21st in the league this season, but also the 24th he has been involved in. It was also his 29th goal of the season in all competitions, one shy of his goal of at least 30 in three consecutive seasons.
It is worth mentioning that Haaland has been involved in 100 goals in 94 Premier League games, with 84 goals and 16 assists. The achievement made him the first player in Premier League history to score 100 goals in fewer than 100 games. In addition, another goal, Haarland will usher in the City career of 120 goals milestone.
Against Brighton, Haaland once again proved his quality. Haaland has drawn level with Sergio Aguero and Bobby Robson in the head-to-head scoring list and is second only to Foden, who has scored eight.
Haaland’s excellent performance once again proved his strength and status as the Premier League’s top scorer. Every time he plays, people are full of expectations, and I believe he will create more brilliance in the Premier League in the future.
