AI Translated Image

Erling Haaland has once again proven he's one of the world's best strikers by surpassing the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo and drawing level with Didier Drogba in Premier League goals.

His goal just five minutes into the match against West Ham at the Etihad Stadium was his 18th of the season and his 103rd career Premier League goal.

With this, Haaland tied Ronaldo’s total goal count at Manchester United, but achieved it in just 113 PL appearances. This is about 119 fewer games than the 232 it took Ronaldo, who scored his final PL goal against Everton on October 9, 2022.

In the second half, Haaland moved up to tie Chelsea legend Didier Drogba for 104 goals in the all-time PL scoring ranks. Drogba scored 104 goals in 251 games, which is 148 more games than it took Haaland.
