Erling Haaland has become the outright leading scorer in Manchester derbies in Premier League history after taking his tally against Manchester United to nine goals.
Record broken in eight league games
The Norway striker reached the mark in just eight league appearances against United, moving ahead of the previous joint record holders.
Wayne Rooney and Sergio Agüero had each scored eight goals in the derby in Premier League matches. Phil Foden and Eric Cantona sit next on seven.
A quick climb to the top
Haaland’s return against United has come in a short spell since joining Manchester City, and the latest goal has pushed him into a place on one of English football’s best-known derby lists.
The source notes that, at his age, the record could still move further in the years ahead.
