Wolves vs. Man City: Erling Haaland's record vs. West Midlands outfit

2 hours ago 7

Sports Mole takes a look at Manchester City striker Erling Haaland's record against Wolves, including overall wins, goals and assists.

Manchester City's top scorer Erling Haaland will be looking to add to his tally when the Citizens travel to the West Midlands to face Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on Sunday.

At the age of just 24, Haaland surpassed compatriot Jorgen Juve to become Norway's all-time record goalscorer (34) after netting a brace in a 3-0 UEFA Nations League win over Slovenia earlier this month.

Haaland has also made the net ripple 10 times in just seven Premier League games so far this season, helping reigning champions Man City remain unbeaten and climb to second in the table.

Ahead of Sunday's encounter at Molineux, Sports Mole takes a closer look at Haaland's record against Wolves.

Erling Haaland's record vs. Wolves

Played: 4
Won: 3
Drawn: 0
Lost: 1
Goals: 8
Assists: 0

Since joining Man City from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2022, Haaland has faced Wolves competitively four times, all in the Premier League, and has helped the Citizens come out on top on three occasions.

The Norwegian has remarkably scored eight goals in that time; only against RB Leipzig (12 goals in eight games) has the striker scored more goals against another opponent in his professional club career.

Haaland's first meeting with Wolves came a Molineux in September 2022 when he scored Man City's second goal in a comfortable 3-0 away victory, shortly before the hosts were reduced to 10 men.

City's No.9 then stole the headlines in the reverse fixture four months later as he scored all three goals - his fourth league hat-trick of that season - in a 3-0 win at the Etihad Stadium, completing his treble in the 54th minute.

The only time Haaland has drawn a blank in front of goal against Wolves to date was at the start of the 2023-24 campaign when he played the full 90 minutes in a surprise 2-1 away defeat, registering just one shot on goal throughout the match.

However, Haaland returned to his prolific best when Wolves visited the Etihad in May 2024 when he scored four goals, including a first-half hat-trick, in a thumping 5-1 victory for Pep Guardiola's side, a result that moved the Citizens one step closer to winning an unprecedented fourth consecutive Premier League title.
