Here, we look at the prolific Norway international바카라™s Manchester City record.

Full house

Chelsea, Liverpool and Brentford were the only teams not to concede to Haaland in his astonishing debut season in England, when he won the Premier League Golden Boot with 36 goals in 33 games.

He ticked off Chelsea and Liverpool in successive league games either side of November바카라™s international break and, having failed to score in this season바카라™s first meeting with the Bees, had to wait until February바카라™s postponed return fixture to complete the set of 21 opponents he had faced.

Having missed December바카라™s fixture against Luton while injured, they were not among that number 바카라“ despite February바카라™s five-goal FA Cup onslaught 바카라“ so his penalty in Saturday바카라™s 5-1 win extended his perfect record to 22 opponents.

Haaland now has 56 goals in 61 Premier League appearances.

Favourite opponents

Haaland바카라™s highest Premier League tally against any opponent is six goals, against derby rivals Manchester United. He followed up last season바카라™s hat-trick at the Etihad Stadium with a double at Old Trafford and another home goal this term.

Fulham and Crystal Palace follow, with five goals in three games against each, with hat-tricks at home to Palace last season and Fulham this.

He has four goals in three games against each of Everton, Nottingham Forest, West Ham and Wolves, with hat-tricks against Forest and Wolves last season.

He has three against both Brighton and Southampton and has scored in every league appearance against Fulham, Everton, West Ham, Palace (three games each, with Fulham and West Ham still to play again this season), Saints (two games), Leicester and Sheffield United (one).

Record books

Harry Kane also scored against every Premier League opponent he faced, a total of 32 clubs, during his time with Tottenham 바카라“ a brief loan at Norwich early in his career did not yield any of his eventual 213 goals in the competition.

Frank Lampard holds the record for scoring Premier League goals against the most clubs overall, with his 39 one more than Andy Cole, but neither player scored against every opponent they faced.

Third on that list with 37 opponents is the league바카라™s record scorer Alan Shearer, whose 20 goals against Leeds is the most by one player against a single opponent.
