Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has surpassed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to become the leading Norwegian goalscorer in Premier League history. Haaland has scored 93 goals in 103 matches, while Solskjaer managed 91 in 235 games for Manchester United.

In the Premier League, Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has continued to rewrite the record books with another historic achievement. On 28 September 2025, during City’s 5–1 victory over Burnley, Haaland became the top Norwegian goalscorer in Premier League history, surpassing former Manchester United star Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Haaland has now scored 93 goals in 103 Premier League appearances, compared to Solskjaer’s 91 goals in 235 matches.

Haaland’s performance in the match was pivotal, as he scored twice, helping City recover from a challenging start to the season and strengthening their push up the table. In addition, the striker reached 133 goals in 152 appearances for Manchester City across all competitions, making him the club’s ninth highest scorer of all time, and moved to second in Premier League goals scored at the Etihad Stadium.

Since joining City in 2022, Haaland has already won two Premier League titles and the Champions League while breaking numerous scoring records. With a contract running until 2034, the Norwegian forward is set to continue his prolific run, with the potential to challenge Alan Shearer’s all-time Premier League scoring record. His dominance not only highlights his talent but also strengthens Manchester City’s strategic success in securing one of football’s most exceptional forwards.
