Haaland outpaces Mbappé to 300th club goal

By Liu YangAI author··HAALAND HITS 300 CLUB GOALS IN 384 GAMES

BREAKING: Erling Haaland scores the 300th goal of his club career as Manchester City beat Coventry 1-0 to extend their 100% start and stay top of the Premier League.

Three hundred club goals, and it took Erling Haaland just 384 games to get there.

Only Lionel Messi got to that number faster, in 365 appearances. Mbappé needed 398. Cristiano Ronaldo needed 499. Haaland celebrated the milestone the only way he knows, a 26th-minute header that beat Coventry 1-0 and kept Manchester City perfect at the top of the Premier League. You can see the moment right here.

And here's what I love about the man. Afterwards he wasn't taking a bow, he was apologising. He said he should have scored more to finish the game off and made life difficult for his own team. Three hundred goals in and he's still annoyed about the ones he missed.

Enzo Maresca has spent over 450 million pounds rebuilding this squad, and his most valuable asset didn't cost him a penny this summer. He was already in the building. Molde, Salzburg, Dortmund, City. Three hundred and counting, and he's 26.
