Manchester City’s 5-3 win over Sunderland carried the usual weight of a demanding afternoon in Manchester, but Erling Haaland found another landmark amid the late goals. The Norwegian converted City’s fifth in the 84th minute, completing a record that underlines the breadth of his impact across English football.
A full set of Premier League opponents
Haaland met Josko Gvardiol’s low ball from close range with no defender able to intervene. The finish meant the 26-year-old has now scored against each of the 25 Premier League sides he has faced since arriving in England a little more than four years ago.
It adds to a growing collection of individual milestones for the City centre-forward, including his status as the quickest player to reach 100 Premier League goals. Against Sunderland, his strike also rounded off the five-goal haul for Enzo Maresca’s side in a match that was far tighter than the final score suggested.
Haaland’s most frequent victims
- West Ham United have conceded 11 goals to Haaland, the highest total against any opponent.
- Wolverhampton Wanderers and Crystal Palace have each been beaten 10 times by the Norway international.
- West Ham and Wolves were both relegated to the Championship in the previous season.
Hull City offer the next target
- Haaland has now scored against every Premier League club he has encountered to date.
- His next opportunity to add a new opponent to that list will come against Hull City.
- The Tigers are eighth after an unexpectedly strong start to the campaign.
- Hull had not played in England’s top division since 2017 before their return, having also spent the 2020-21 season in League One.
For City, the Sunderland result delivered three points after a difficult contest. For Haaland, it supplied another entry in a record book that continues to expand with almost every new stop on the English calendar.
