Erling Haaland reacts on social media after making Premier League history in Man City win

Manchester City star Erling Haaland has reacted on social media after scoring his 100th Premier League goal. The Norwegian reached the milestone in 111 matches, breaking Hall of Famer Alan Shearer's record as the fastest to achieve it, set at 124 games.

Haaland has now taken to X (previously Twitter) to send a message to his fans. He posted a photo of his celebration and the shot that led to the goal and captioned it:

"When football takes you to places you could never have imagined… 💯🙏🏻"

The Manchester City star also spoke to the club's media team after the 5-4 win and said:

"Scoring 100 Premier League goals is something I am really proud of. Everyone knows the Premier League is the most difficult in world football. The quality of the teams in this division is amazing and there are a lot of quality defenders. To score 100 in English football is something special for me."

"I love scoring goals and I want to keep experiencing it because there is nothing better. All I want to do is help the team win. Manchester City means everything to me, and my team-mates are the best. I know when I score, we have a better chance of winning, that's why every single goal means to much to me. I want to thank everyone at City because without them I would not have scored this many goals."

Erling Haaland has scored against all 23 teams he has faced in the Premier League in his career. Manchester City face Sunderland next in the league, and it will be the first time the Norwegian has faced the Black Cats in the top flight.
