Haaland Hits 50 goals as City Sink 10-Man Napoli

Erling Haaland reached 50 UEFA Champions League goals in record time, scoring in his 49th appearance as Manchester City beat 10-man Napoli 2-0 at the Etihad.

Napoli captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo saw red after a VAR review for his tackle on Haaland, leaving the visitors on the back foot early.

City initially struggled to break through, with Vanja Milinkovic-Savic producing several saves, but Haaland finally struck after the break, heading in Phil Foden’s clipped pass to bring up his historic milestone.

Jeremy Doku sealed the points with a composed finish soon after, ensuring Pep Guardiola’s men claimed consecutive UCL wins for the first time this season.

Napoli, still winless in 13 trips to England, also lost their perfect record for the 2025/26 campaign.
