'Monster Goal Scorer'Elling Holan (Man City) scored 12 consecutive goals in official games.
Holan scored the first goal in the third round of the European Champions League (UCL) league phase of the 2025-2026 season against Villarreal at Estadio de la Seramica in Villarreal, Spain, on the 22nd (Korea time) and led the team to a 2-0 victory.
With the score on the day, the scoring streak, which began against Brighton in August, continued for the 12th game. Holan shook the net with the Norwegian national team, including Brighton, Finland, Moldova (5 goals), Manchester United (2 goals), Napoli, Arsenal, Burnley (2 goals), Monaco (2 goals), Brentford, Israel (3 goals) and Everton (2 goals).

This put him on par with Cristiano Ronaldo (currently Al Nasr), who played for Real Madrid. Ronaldo scored 12 consecutive goals twice in the 2014-2015 season and the 2017-2018 season. Back-to-back scoring records were broken against Liverpool and Bayern Munich, respectively.
Holan has scored 24 goals and three assists in 14 games this season, showing off his monstrous scoring ability as much as Ronaldo. Earlier, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said in a confident voice that he would shake off the disappointment of last season, which was 2% short, and hit a goal storm again. Hallan also expressed confidence in the new season, saying that he had been light since the pre-season process.
Holan, who started as a front-line striker, cut the net in the 17th minute of the first half with a calm right-footed shot from Rico Lewis' cross into the door from the right. With his fourth UCL goal this season, he has increased his UCL score to 53. He is three goals shy of Ruud van Nistelrooy (56 goals).

Manchester City, which led by Holan's goal, finished with a 2-0 lead in the first half in the 40th minute when Bernardu Silva connected Sabiu's pass with an additional goal.
The counterweight is already on the wane. In the second half, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola kept his 2-0 victory by putting in Omar Marmusi, Matteo Kovacic, Rayan Sherki and Tijani Reindeer, excluding Holan, Jeremy Doku, Saviou and Nico González.
Manchester City, which had two wins and one draw (7 points) in three UCL league phases, rose to fifth place. On the other hand, Villarreal, which continued its sluggish performance with one draw and two losses (one point), fell to 29th place.
Holan will try to score 13 consecutive goals in the ninth round of the English Premier League (EPL) away game against Aston Villa on the 26th.
