The Norway international has been scoring for fun throughout his career, but just how many times in total has he found the net?
Death, taxes and Erling Haaland scoring. The three certainties in life.
The Manchester City attacker has been scoring for fun following his move to the Premier League, but the 2022-23 campaign is by no means the first time he’s been making headlines for his lethal finishing.
He did it at Borussia Dortmund. He did it at Red Bull Salzburg. He did it at Molde. And he did it during his time with the Bryne youth academy.
And we haven’t even talked about his performances for the national team at both youth and senior level yet.
Remember when he scored nine goals in one game at the Under-20 World Cup in 2019?!
Yes, we agree, the man is an absolute phenomenon and he seems destined to break all sorts of goalscoring records in the years to come.
Just how many goals has he scored so far, though?
Let’s take a look.

How many goals does Erling Haaland have for Manchester City this season?
It’s fair to say Haaland didn’t need much time to adapt to his new surroundings following his big-money move from Borussia Dortmund.
He drew a blank on his official debut in the Community Shield clash with Liverpool, but quickly showed what he’s made of in his first Premier League game, scoring twice against West Ham.
And just to make sure his critics wouldn’t have any ammunition whatsoever, he quickly followed that up with hat-tricks against Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest and Manchester United before we were even midway through October.

How many goals did Haaland get for Borussia Dortmund
Many expected Haaland to make the move to RB Leipzig after impressing at Red Bull Salzburg in Austria, but he opted to move to Dortmund instead as he felt he had a better shot at regular first-team action there.
Fair to say that was a decision he will not have regretted.
A hat-trick on his debut was the perfect way to introduce himself to the Bundesliga and Haaland was unstoppable at times during his spell with Borussia Dortmund.
He ended up finding the net an impressive 86 times during 89 appearances in all competitions.
