"Stack them up. Pile them high. Sort them and arrange them, parse them and categorise them, order them to your table like items in a Chinese restaurant. Personal favourites? Give me the No 33 against Arsenal, the one with the flowing hair. I'll also take a No 81 against Chelsea, when he spots a hapless Robert Sanchez out of goal, and lobs him deliciously from the edge of the area."
"And perhaps numbers the basic currency of football are the most instinctive way of interpreting Erling Haaland's 100 Premier League goals for Manchester City, a career built on accumulation, the pursuit of hard round certainties. Seventy-one with his left foot. Seventeen with his head. Eleven with his right foot. And one with his bum, No 49 against Chelsea, in which the ball rolls up his back as he slides over the line, perhaps the first Premier League goal that also doubles up as a massage."
Erling Haaland scored 100 Premier League goals for Manchester City, catalogued by goal numbers and memorable moments. Notable goals include No 33 against Arsenal, No 81 lob over Robert Sanchez, No 98 against Bournemouth with a slanted run, No 53 against Brentford, and No 49 against Chelsea that struck his back. Seventy-one came with his left foot, 17 with his head, 11 with his right foot, and one with his bum. Kevin De Bruyne provided 13 assists. Wolves (10) and West Ham (9) have conceded to Haaland most often at club level. Questions remain about whether his dominance could become monotonous.
