Erling Haaland stats: club and country
From a teenage breakout in Austria to record-breaking seasons in England, he has scored everywhere. His record for club and country reads:
| Team | Apps | Goals | Assists |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manchester City | 207 | 172 | 32 |
| Borussia Dortmund | 80 | 77 | 17 |
| RB Salzburg | 9 | 8 | 1 |

What the numbers say
His finishing is barely believable. Those 172 Manchester City goals came from an expected-goals figure of 104.6, an overperformance of nearly 70 goals, and he has converted 143 big chances. He scores every which way, with 24 headers and 30 penalties among the City haul, and 1,264 touches in the opposition box.
A goal a game, everywhere
It is not new: 77 goals in 80 games for Borussia Dortmund and eight in nine for Salzburg. Across more than 16,700 City minutes he averages close to a goal a game.
How Erling Haaland fared in Norway’s opener
Haaland marked his first World Cup with a brace as Norway beat Iraq 4-1. He led the line with five shots, four on target, taking both goals inside the box — one with each foot. He could have had more, spurning two further big chances, but the message was clear: no seed wants to face Norway. He is also Norway’s all-time top scorer, with 57 goals in 51 caps.
Erling Haaland at the World Cup 2026
This is the stage that always eluded Haaland — and he is making it count, with five goals in his first World Cup as Norway reached the Round of 16. Here is how every game has unfolded.
- Iraq 1-4 Norway (group stage, 16 June): Haaland announced himself with a first-half brace on 29 and 43 minutes, taking five shots and hitting the target four times as Norway cruised to a 4-1 win. Two clinical inside-the-box finishes set the tone for the campaign.
- Norway 3-2 Senegal (group stage, 23 June): Another brace, this time after the interval on 48 and 58 minutes, to turn a tight game Norway’s way. He had five shots (three on target), struck twice from inside the box — one on the break — and also rattled the woodwork in a relentless display.
- Norway 1-4 France (group stage, 26 June): Haaland did not feature as Norway were beaten heavily by France in their final group game.
- Ivory Coast 1-2 Norway (Round of 32, 30 June): The biggest moment of all. With the tie level at 1-1, Haaland struck the 86th-minute winner — one of his four shots on the day — to send Norway into the last 16.
- Brazil 1-2 Norway (Round of 16, July 5): Started and struck twice late on (79 and 90 minutes) from four shots to stun Brazil and send Norway into the quarter-finals.
- Norway 1-2 England (quarter-final, July 11): Led the line for 120 minutes but couldn’t find a way through as Norway lost 2-1 after extra time to England, their run ending in the quarter-finals.
Five goals made Haaland one of the tournament’s deadliest forwards, but Norway’s run ended in the quarter-finals, beaten 2-1 by England after extra time. For our pick of the winners, see the World Cup 2026 final predictions.
