Haaland marks 50th EPL goal as Arnold’s late strike ends City home-winning streak 

Trent Alexander-Arnold’s late goal for Liverpool, ended Manchester City’s home-winning run after Erling Haaland scored his 50th EPL goal.

Nathan Ake initiated the first goal, setting up Erling Haaland to score.

The 23-year-old striker broke the deadlock for the champions, 27 minutes into the Saturday lunchtime fixture.

But Trent Alexander-Arnold channeled his inner-Steven Gerrard to snatch a point for the Reds at the 80th minutes.

Alexander-Arnold’s masterclass in the game also earned him the man of the match award, after he dealt with the threat of Jeremy Doku throughout the game.

But who made history in the match was Haaland. The Norwegian obliterated another Premier League record as he reached 50 goals quicker than any other player in the history of the English Premier League.

He made the mark in just 48 games, defeating the initial record set by Manchester United legend Andy Cole, who bagged his first 50 goals in 65 appearances.

With the 1-1 draw at Old Trafford, Manchetser City still maintain the top spot with 29 points, followed by their visitors Liverpool with 28.

However, the table could turn if Arsenal who brag with 27 points defeat Brentford later Saturday evening.
