That was in 2022-23, when he scored 36 times – a competition record for a single season – in just 33 starts.

Haaland joined Manchester City for £51m in the summer of 2022 following two and a half seasons at Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund, where he scored 62 goals in 67 league outings.
The 25-year-old's strike rate since moving to the Premier League far outstrips that of any of the elite goalscorers to have so far played in the competition.
