It was just his 111th appearance in the competition and here, the Press Association looks at his record and how he compares.

SHARP SHOOTERS

The Premier League's all-time leading scorer Alan Shearer held the previous record, bringing up his century in 124 games on his way to a career total of 260.

That came during Shearer's first four seasons in the rebranded top flight, all spent with Blackburn before his move to his hometown club Newcastle ~ where he became the only player to date with 100 Premier League goals for two different clubs.

Haaland too is in his fourth season having joined City from Borussia Dortmund in 2022.
