Fastest player to reach 50 Premier League goals
Erling Haaland breaks another Premier League record.
With his goal against Liverpool over the weekend, Haaland reached 50 Premier League goals. Thus, he becomes the player to reach 50 Premier League goals fastest in history, breaking the record quite convincingly set by Andy Cole. The Norwegian needed 17 fewer matches than Cole, who sits in second place, to set this record.
Fastest players to reach 50 Premier League goals (games)
◉ Erling Haaland (48 games)
◉ Andy Cole (65 games)
◉ Alan Shearer (66 games)
◉ Ruud van Nistelrooy (68)
◉ Mohamed Salah (72)
Haaland's next goal must be to break Alan Shearer's record for reaching 100 goals in the fewest matches. Currently, Shearer has 100 goals after 124 matches, so it seems realistic that this record could be surpassed.
Manchester City has become more formidable since Haaland's arrival. Looking at his statistics in the Manchester City jersey, they speak for themselves, and it's already fair to label him as one of the best strikers in Premier League history.
Erling Haaland Premier League record:
◉ 48 games
◉ 50 goals
◉ 11 assists
Haaland has played 72 matches for Manchester City in all competitions, scoring 70 goals and providing 13 assists. An impressive goal record that has contributed to City's significant success last season. It appears that City is the team to beat again this year in both the Premier League and the Champions League, so opponents will need to find a way to stop Haaland.
