Erling Haaland has broken yet another football record by becoming the fastest player in Premier League history to score 100 goals.
The Manchester City striker reached this incredible milestone in just 111 games, scoring his 100th goal during a thrilling 5-4 win against Fulham. Haaland netted the goal in the 17th minute, tapping in a cross from teammate Jeremy Doku.
This achievement beats the previous record held by Alan Shearer, who reached 100 goals in 124 matches back in 1995. Haaland did it 13 games quicker.
The Norwegian star is no stranger to setting records. He’s already the fastest to score 50 Champions League goals and the only player to get hat-tricks in three home Premier League matches in a row. He’s also Norway’s all-time top scorer.
After the match, Haaland said it was a “proud moment” and called joining the “100 club” a big achievement. He added that scoring is his job and joked, “I’m not bad at it!”
Even though he’s already made history, Haaland still has a long way to go to break Shearer’s all-time Premier League scoring record of 260 goals. But if he keeps going at this pace, he could do it within a few seasons.
