Erling Haaland scored his 91st goal for Manchester City in his 100th appearance for the club as his team beat Chelsea 2-0 on the opening weekend of the Premier League season.
Pep Guardiola said Erling Haaland was posting numbers comparable to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo after he marked his 100th appearance for Manchester City by scoring his 91st goal.
It was an ideal start for Haaland as well, with the Norwegian failing to score in 17 of his final 27 games last season, although he did hit five against Luton and four against Wolves in that spell.ALSO READ: Man City full-time scenes ended the biggest debate of the summer "He has numbers for Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, who controlled the last decade, 15 years. In terms of numbers he’s that level, scoring in 100 games 91 goals is something in this country that is unbelievable," said Guardiola.
