Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has lifted the Sunderland curse and achieved a remarkable feat in the Premier League.
The Norwegian marksman netted in the 83rd minute of a thrilling match that ended 5-3, finally putting to rest the only club he had yet to score against in the top flight. Until this fixture, Haaland had never found the net against the Black Cats, but he made no mistake this time, connecting with a pinpoint delivery from Josko Guardiola at the far post, leaving the keeper with no chance from close range.
With that goal, Haaland has now scored against all 25 clubs he has faced in the Premier League.
Heading into the match, the forward was enduring a three-game goal drought against Sunderland. He missed a golden chance in the first half after a fine build-up involving Ryan Cherki and Iliman Ndiaye, but in the decisive moments of the match, the Norwegian made his mark and ultimately rewrote league history.
