Semenyo's role in Haaland's milestone

The Norwegian converted a bullet header after connecting with a precise cross from Semenyo, who had received an excellent pass from Enzo Fernandez before delivering it from the right flank.

The goal proved to be the only one of the match as Enzo Maresca's side maintained their perfect start to the season. The significance of the goal extended well beyond the three points.

Semenyo had also provided the assist for Haaland's 298th club career goal, making his contribution to the Norwegian's landmark tally all the more notable.

Phil Foden was responsible for setting up Haaland's 299th, coming in Manchester City's 4-1 win over Crystal Palace on matchday two.

When the 300th arrived, however, it was Semenyo's delivery that proved decisive once again.

Erling Haaland's 300-goal career breakdown

Haaland's journey to 300 club goals spans four clubs across three countries.

He scored 20 goals for Norwegian side Molde FK before moving to Red Bull Salzburg, where he added 29 more.

His time at Borussia Dortmund yielded 86 goals, and since joining Manchester City, he has found the net 165 times, making the Premier League club the setting for more than half of his entire career output.

The milestone underlines Haaland's status as one of the most prolific scorers in European football, while Semenyo's repeated involvement in key moments for City signals a growing importance within Maresca's squad.
