Erling Haaland Breaks Alan Shearer’s Record with 100th Goal for Man City
Erling Haaland has achieved a significant milestone in the Premier League by scoring his 100th goal. This remarkable feat occurred during Manchester City’s recent match against Fulham, where he found the net in the 17th minute.
Fastest to 100 Goals
Haaland’s 100th goal came in just his 111th appearance, making him the fastest player to reach this landmark in Premier League history. He breaks a record set by Alan Shearer, who achieved the same score in 124 matches back in 1995.
Record-Breaking Journey
Since joining Manchester City in July 2022, Haaland has shattered various Premier League records. His latest goal surpassed previous benchmarks set by iconic players:
- Thierry Henry – 141 games
- Sergio Agüero – 147 games
- Mohamed Salah – 162 games
Connection to Leeds
Interestingly, Haaland’s relationship with Leeds adds a personal touch to his achievement. He was born there while his father played for the local club. This connection makes his success against Fulham even more memorable.
The Ultimate Challenge
While Haaland has reached an impressive milestone, he still aims to break the all-time Premier League goal record. Currently, Alan Shearer holds this title with a total of 260 goals.
As Haaland continues his career with Manchester City, fans eagerly anticipate further record-breaking moments from this extraordinary striker.
