Breakdown of Erling Haaland’s career goals for both club and country
Erling Haaland is arguably the most lethal goal scorers of his generation. Here is a breakdown of the goals he has scored for club and country.
Haaland's drought continues
A record 35 league goals last campaign earned the former Dortmund striker the Premier League Golden Boot in his first season.
He looked set for a similar year with his blistering start to the season, scoring six goals in his first four league games; however, the ratio has significantly dipped, as he only managed two in the next four, failing to score in his last two.
The game against Arsenal was particularly tough for him, as his matchup against William Saliba proved unfavourable to him.

He also struggled to come out on top against the French international when he squared up against him in the Community Shield, and fans have made sure to point that out.
Fans react to Haaland's struggle
Anthony Themes believes the Norwegian is missing Haaland’s deliveries, “Haaland without De Bruyne is another Tammy Abraham without a dread.” Nifemi Ola said, “He was just pocketed by Saliba. Kudos to Arsenal. Up Gunners.”
Syed Muhermmerd said, "Saliba pocket this boy!” while Lightc Ogbonna believes the striker was a passenger on the day: “Pep should have substituted him and leave Alvarez because he was a better player; no shot off or on target by him; not even marking ball; he is just minus one today.”
