Erling Haaland’s assertion is made by Gary Neville after the Manchester City player equals Cristiano Ronaldo’s record.
Gary Neville praised Erling Haaland for his “utter devastation” in scoring Manchester City’s opening goal against Arsenal on Sunday, which marked the 100th strike of his tenure at the Etihad.
On Sunday afternoon, Haaland played a critical role in City’s exhilarating 2-2 draw against the Gunners. He scored a splendid goal to give his team the lead, and he subsequently became embroiled in a heated altercation with Arsenal players at the conclusion of the game.
However, his initial goal was exceptional. He received a through ball from Savinho, outpaced Gabriel and William Saliba, and then toe-poked the ball past David Raya in the goal.
It was the Norwegian’s tenth goal of the season, and it signified a century in just 105 games. This achievement means that he is now the joint-fastest player to reach 100 goals, matching the record held by Cristiano Ronaldo. In 105 contests, both athletes have accomplished the feat.Neville was left in awe of Haaland’s historic strike, applauding him for his “dismissive” finale.
On commentary duty for Sky Sports, the former Manchester United defender declared, “That is complete and utter devastation in footballing terms!”
“Savinho’s performance was exceptional; however, the acceleration of the two greatest center backs in the country is truly remarkable once Haaland indicates that space.” The jab that is directed at Raya is dismissive.Riccardo Calafiori’s spectacular equalizer from range began a tumultuous game that culminated in Haaland’s goal. Guardiola was so incensed by the goal that he kicked his chair in the dugout. The Spaniard believed that Arsenal’s free kick during the build-up should have been taken 10 yards away from the original infraction.
Arsenal faced an insurmountable battle following Gabriel Magalhaes’ equalizer, as Leandro Trossard was dismissed for a second yellow card shortly before the break.
For the majority of the second half, City endeavored to achieve a breakthrough, but they were ultimately frustrated by Arsenal’s passive approach. The visitors were finally able to equalize through John Stones, and Haaland incited them by tossing the ball at Gabriel’s head.
Gabriel Jesus intervened to confront Haaland, which resulted in a significant altercation between the two squads.
