• The superstar set up Phil Foden for Man City's opener in the 25th minute before Enciso restored parity

Manchester City hotshot, Erling Haaland continued his impressive Premier League form on Wednesday night, May 24, as his side battled Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium.

Despite the match being of little significance for City, Pep Guardiola still found the need to name a strong team for the EPL cracker.

Haaland equals Thierry Henry's record

Despite Haaland's goal being ruled out, it was not all gloom and doom for the Norwegian star, whose contribution in the match saw him equal a record held by Arsenal legend, Thierry Henry.

The former Borussia Dortmund ace was responsible for City's opener, scored by Foden as he set up the Englishman for the goal.

According to Squawka, this was Haaland's 44th goal involvement in the Premier League, having previously scored 36 goals and bagged eight assists.

The tally is enough for him to match Henry's, with the former Arsenal star setting the record during the 2002/03 campaign.

At the time, the Frenchman scored 24 goals and bagged an incredible 20 assists.

Haaland has an opportunity to break that record and set his own, with City still yet to play two matches.
