Haaland surpasses Ronaldo in Premier League top scorers list

Norwegian striker Erling Haaland continues his scoring rate of more than a goal per game for Manchester City and has surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo on the Premier League's all-time top scorers list. His latest victim was West Ham on Saturday, when he scored two goals. Haaland scored in each half to reach 19 goals in 17 matches this season and also assisted Tijjani Reijnders' goal in the 3-0 victory at the Etihad Stadium. Haaland has 38 goals in 28 matches for club and country, which is shaping up to be the most prolific season of his career. If injuries allow, the season will end with his participation in his first World Cup with Norway. With his brace, he reached 104 goals in the Premier League, one more than Ronaldo—who had two spells at Manchester United—and in 122 fewer matches. Haaland scored on his second attempt after a cross from Phil Foden to give City an advantage in the fifth minute and took advantage of a West Ham defensive error to make it 3-0 in the 69th. Additionally, Haaland slid a short pass to Reijnders, who controlled and shot into the roof of the net on the 38th.
