Which English Team Has Managed to Keep Erling Haaland from Scoring?

Erling Haaland has scored 118 goals in 135 games for Manchester City, tormenting almost every English team. However, Plymouth Argyle remains the only English side he has failed to score against. In their recent FA Cup clash, Haaland played just 30 minutes but managed an assist in City 3-1 win. Plymouth joins an elite group including Inter Milan and Juventus.

In the 135 matches Erling Haaland has played for Manchester City, he has scored an astonishing 118 goals. He has found the net against nearly every English side, including nine times against West Ham, six against Manchester United, and four against both Arsenal and Tottenham. However, one team has managed to keep him from scoring—Plymouth Argyle.

Despite playing just 30 minutes in City's 3-1 FA Cup victory over Plymouth, Haaland failed to score, though he did provide an assist. This makes Plymouth the only English side he has faced without conceding a goal to him. They join an elite group of clubs, including Inter Milan, Juventus, Sporting CP, and Red Star Belgrade, that have prevented Haaland from scoring.

While the stat requires context—Haaland has played significantly more minutes against most other teams—it remains a unique achievement for Plymouth. Given that the Championship club is struggling in the league, they may not face Haaland again anytime soon. However, with the Norwegian striker's long-term contract at City, he has nearly a decade to break the record. City’s next match is against Nottingham Forest as they return to Premier League action.
