Erling Haaland reached 300 club goals with a 26th-minute header that gave Manchester City a 1-0 victory over newly promoted Coventry City.

The Norwegian striker achieved the milestone in 384 appearances for Molde, Red Bull Salzburg, Borussia Dortmund and Manchester City. He reached 300 goals faster than Kylian Mbappe, who needed 398 matches, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who reached the mark after 499 appearances. Lionel Messi remains ahead, having scored 300 club goals in 365 matches.

I’m very happy. I’m getting to know the players day by day, we’re getting to know each other. This means we will get better and better

· Enzo MarescaManchester City’s coach assessed the significance of the narrow victory over Coventry.

Haaland’s goal preserved Manchester City’s perfect start to the Premier League season. The club has won all three of its opening matches and remains top of the standings. Coach Enzo Maresca said the victory was important, although he believed the team could still improve. “I’m very happy. I’m getting to know the players day by day, we’re getting to know each other. This means we will get better and better,” Maresca said.

I should have scored more goals to finish the game, but I didn’t, so I made it difficult for the team and managed to keep Coventry in the game until the end

· Erling HaalandHaaland reflected on missed chances after scoring his 300th club goal.

Haaland said he should have scored more to put the match beyond Coventry’s reach. “I should have scored more goals to finish the game, but I didn’t, so I made it difficult for the team and managed to keep Coventry in the game until the end,” he told ESPN. “In the Premier League, if you don’t execute well, it will be difficult,” he added.

Haaland has scored three goals in his past two matches. His form comes as Maresca rebuilds City after Pep Guardiola’s era, with the club spending more than £450 million, or about $609 million, to reshape the squad during the summer. Transfers continued until the final day, when City brought in Enzo Fernandez and Iliman Ndiaye, who both started against Coventry.
