Erling Haaland became the quickest player to reach 100 goals in Premier League history, achieving the feat in just 111 matches during Manchester City’s clash against Fulham on Tuesday, December 2.The Norwegian striker found the back of the net in the 17th minute at Craven Cottage, firing home Jeremy Doku’s cutback pass. The 25-year-old hit the post earlier in the game when he was through on goal, but he made sure to convert the second chance.With the strike, Erling Haaland surpassed the league’s all-time top scorer, Alan Shearer, who previously held the record, reaching the feat in 124 games. The goals also made him the 35th player to join the Premier League 100 club.Since he joined Manchester City in 2022, Erling Haaland has broken multiple Premier League records. He is the fastest player to reach landmark goal-scoring feats like 20 (14 games), 30 (27 games), 40 (39 games), and 50 (48 games). Also, in his debut season, he broke the record for the player with the most goals in a single Premier League campaign, scoring 36 goals in 35 matches.It’s his 15th league goal in the ongoing campaign, and he currently leads the goal-scoring charts in the English top flight. In total for club and country this season, Haaland has scored a remarkable 33 goals in 24 games.Manchester City’s Erling Haaland backed to break Alan Shearer’s Premier League goal-scoring recordErling Haaland looks unstoppable at the moment and will be poised to score as many goals in the coming months and the coming seasons. Shearer, who is currently the division’s all-time top scorer, has 260 goals to his name.In 2023, former England international Tim Sherwood backed Erling Haaland to break Alan Shearer’s remarkable Premier League goal-scoring record.“Haaland’s already gone ahead of Golden Boot winners, Son Heung-min and Mo Salah, from last season,” he said. “They scored 23 and he’s already got 25. If he stays fit, he breaks it without doubt. He’s just a phenomenon. Physically, he’s a monster. He can run, finish with both feet, he’s decent in the air. He’s got a great support act as well.“The biggest clubs in the world were after him last summer. He obviously looked at the way the City team plays. It’s not just the Saturday, remember. It’s not just matchdays. You’ve got to go in and enjoy your football every single day. There’s no better place as a world-class player, on the front foot, every single day with the best manager in the world.“He’s made the right choice. I genuinely feel like he is the last piece of the jigsaw with the Champions League, too. You look at his goalscoring record in that competition, it’s second to none. His goals per minutes on the pitch are ridiculous.”Given his recent contract extension with City and his goal-scoring rate, Haaland could very well be on course to dethrone Shearer.
