Haaland's first competitive goal for his current employers came on his Premier League debut against West Ham in August 2022.

Winning a penalty after being hauled down by Alphonse Areola, the striker slotted the spot-kick into the bottom left corner and he added another in the second half by finishing an incisive City counter-attack.
