Erling Haaland draws level with Man City legend

Haaland's two goals drew him closer to breaking another Man City record, with the Norwegian striker setting his sights on more lines in the history books.

Two goals for Haaland om Sunday drew the 25-year-old forward level with Man City legend Sergio Aguero for goals in the Manchester derby.

The two goals that Haaland scored were his seventh and eighth in the derby, levelling him with City's five-time Premier League winner.

Haaland signed a nine-and-a-half year deal with City in January 2025, and the ex-Borussia Dortmund forward has had a storied three seasons at the Etihad Stadium.

City's forward had eight defensive contributions according to Fotmob, as well as nine touches in United's box.

Isak will rival Haaland's claim when he begins his Liverpool career, but at current no one gets close to the Yorkshire-born man at Man City.
