Watch: Haaland breaks Man City vs. Napoli deadlock with record-setter
Haaland, with his goal in the second half of Man City vs. Napoli on Thursday evening, set a new record and became the fastest player to reach 50 Champions League goals, achieving the feat in just 49 outings in the competition.
It was a phenomenal goal that took Haaland to the 50-goal mark. England international Phil Foden managed to dink a lofted ball into the area for the big Norwegian, who reacted brilliantly to get an early header on the ball and loop it over the towering Vanja Milinkovic-Savic in goal.
A simply fabulous header from Erling Haaland
