Erling Haaland’s Remarkable Goalscoring Record with Manchester City and Norway
Erling Haaland has been part of the Premier League for less than three seasons, yet he has already surpassed many legendary players and is leading Norway’s charge toward World Cup qualification. His numbers remain astonishing despite recent challenges for both him and Manchester City.
“Despite his – and City’s – more recent struggles, those numbers remain as ridiculous as a 115-month contract.”
As of his goals in the 3-1 victory over Bournemouth on November 2, Haaland’s stats continue to redefine what’s possible for a striker at this stage of his career.
Historic Premier League Milestones
- He became the first Premier League player whose performances forced football analysts to frequently update their statistics due to his rapid scoring pace.
- He was the fastest player to reach 50 Premier League goals, doing so in just 48 matches, surpassing Andy Cole (65), Alan Shearer (66), Ruud van Nistelrooy (68), Mohamed Salah, and Fernando Torres (both 72).
- He was also the quickest to reach 75 goals, achieving this in 77 games and outpacing Shearer (93), Harry Kane (115), Van Nistelrooy (116), Salah (117), and Sergio Agüero (118).
- Haaland became the fastest to reach 100 goal contributions (goals and assists combined), achieving it in only 94 matches, beating Shearer (100), Eric Cantona (116), Salah (116), and Agüero (118).
