Erling Haaland dispatched his 100th goal in his 105th match for Manchester City on Sunday against Premier League rivals Arsenal, tying Cristiano Ronaldo as the quickest to reach the century mark for a single club in the 21st century.
Haaland split Arsenal’s vaunted defense for the opener, taking Savinho’s inch-perfect pass in stride before poking a shot past goalkeeper David Raya.

Haaland is now up to 10 goals in just five Premier League games this season.
But the 1-0 lead barely lasted. Riccardo Calafiori, making his full Premier League debut for Arsenal, rifled in a sensational left-footed shot to tie up the match in the 22nd minute.
Then all hell broke loose. Gabriel Magalhaes gave Arsenal a 2-1 lead before Leandro Trossard was sent off for a second yellow card. City substitute John Stones equalized in the 98th minute to deny the Gunners a famous win.
