Another record for Erling Haaland! Prolific Man City striker hits new milestone for Premier League away goals in derby clash with Man Utd

The prolific Norway international moved to the Etihad Stadium during the summer of 2022. He was expected to take Pep Guardiola’s side to new heights, as they landed another fearsome frontman, and he duly delivered 52 goals last season in a Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League Treble.

Haaland has shown no sign of slowing down in 2023-24, with another hat-trick added to his impressive tally in the English top-flight during a September meeting with Fulham. The 23-year-old has proved almost impossible to stop both at home and on the road, with Manchester United finding that out to their cost in the latest derby date played out at Old Trafford.

Haaland opened the scoring against the Red Devils from the penalty spot, before doubling City’s lead in the second half. In adding two more goals to his remarkable tally, the closest challenger to Lionel Messi in the 2023 Ballon d’Or race made another piece of history.

Kevin Phillips, who took 28 away games to reach 20 goals in the Premier League, has surrendered his record to Haaland – who has reached that mark in just 23 outings. The likes of Arsenal legend Ian Wright (31) and ex-Chelsea striker Diego Costa (33) have also been nudged down a notable chart by a man performing at the peak of his powers.
