Getty Images SportTHE BIGGER PICTURE
Haaland has now 74 English top-flight goals in just 73 appearances - which is simply sensational even by his own lofty standards. To further put matters into perspective, Arsenal frontman, Gabriel Jesus, has managed to net 73 times so far in his entire Premier League career in 218 appearances across nine seasons. Interestingly, Haaland moved into Etihad in the same summer Gabriel Jesus signed for Arsenal. And now he has surpassed the Brazilian's goal tally in 143 fewer games!
Getty WHAT NEXT FOR HAALAND?
Haaland is leading the Premier League scoring charts with 11 strikes. He is followed by Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo and Nottingham Forest's Chris Wood who are on seven goals each. He will be back in league action on November 2 against Bournemouth but before that, he has to see off Tottenham in an Carabao Cup round of 16 fixture on Wednesday evening.
