Erling Haaland, the young and renowned striker of Manchester City, set a new record yesterday by scoring against Sunderland in his team's 5-3 victory during an exciting period of Premier League competition. This goal was his first against Sunderland after two unsuccessful matches and 159 minutes of play without a goal, allowing him to score against all 25 teams he has faced in the Premier League.
Haaland and Not Giving Up on Opponents
Haaland, who scored in the 81st minute with a beautiful shot from outside the penalty area, showed that nothing can stop him. With this goal, he joined the ranks of players who have scored against all their opponents in the Premier League. Currently, he is the only player who needs to score against Hull City to maintain his 100% scoring record in this league. This match will take place on December 19, and everyone is waiting to see if Haaland can complete this record.

Competing with Other Stars
Alongside Haaland, Harry Kane, the former Tottenham striker now at Bayern Munich, has also set a similar record in the Premier League. Kane has scored against all 32 opponents he has faced in the Premier League. However, Haaland still faces numerous challenges on his path to records. The 124 big goal-scoring opportunities he has missed since entering the Premier League indicate that even the best can experience performance dips at times.
Haaland is currently recognized as one of the top scorers in the league with 25 goals, and fans expect him to continue this trend throughout the season. However, competition in the Premier League is extremely tight, and every goal can determine a team's fate.
Meanwhile, Brian Brobbey, the Dutch striker, has made history as the first player to score a hat-trick at the Etihad Stadium. However, he could not secure victory for his team in that match and became the sixth player in Premier League history to lose a match despite scoring a hat-trick.
