Erling Haaland has now scored against every Premier League side he has faced, completing the full set with an 81st-minute goal against Sunderland at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
The Norwegian required three meetings with Sunderland before finding the net, but the strike adds to a record that spans just over four years in English football.
Haaland has been most prolific against West Ham, scoring 11 goals in eight top-flight matches against the Hammers. Crystal Palace and Wolves have each conceded 10 goals to him, while he leads all scorers in Manchester derbies in the Premier League with nine goals against United.
The goal takes his tally to five in the Premier League this season, placing him at the top of the early Golden Boot standings. He has won that award in three of his first four campaigns at City, including a record 36 goals in 2022/23.
In total, Haaland has scored 117 goals in 137 Premier League appearances. Only 22 players have scored more in the competition since its 1992 rebrand.
Last week he became the third-highest scorer in Manchester City's 132-year history, overtaking Tommy Johnson on 166 goals. He now trails Eric Brook, who scored 177 times between 1928 and 1939, with Sergio Aguero's all-time club record of 260 still a considerable distance ahead.
