"Erling Haaland continues to make history for Manchester City, with the Norwegian goal machine now on 100 Premier League goals for the club. With another goal in last night's win over Fulham, Haaland now holds the record for reaching 100 Premier League goals faster than any player ever has before. As per analysis from BBC Sport, Haaland has achieved a century of top flight goals in just 111 appearances, which is pretty extraordinary and puts him ahead of other legendary forwards such as Alan Shearer, Harry Kane and Thierry Henry."
"As you can see, Shearer isn't even in the top five here, with the former Newcastle man benefiting from his sheer longevity at the highest level. Given that Haaland is only 25, it shouldn't be too hard for him to keep going for long enough to eventually overtake Shearer's final haul of 260 Premier League goals. Can Haaland fire City to another title? City won the treble in Haaland's first season and followed it up with another title in 2023/24, though the club slipped to third place last term."
Erling Haaland has reached 100 Premier League goals for Manchester City in only 111 appearances, the quickest ever to the milestone. The 25-year-old scored again against Fulham to hit the century and currently averages a goal every 93 minutes for City. Comparative data lists Sergio Aguero (108 minutes per goal), Thierry Henry (122), Alexander Isak (126) and Harry Kane (126), highlighting Haaland's superior scoring rate. Alan Shearer remains the all-time top scorer overall, but Haaland has reached 100 goals in 13 fewer matches than Shearer and could surpass Shearer's 260 if he maintains form and longevity.
