""A proud moment," Haaland told BBC Match of the Day afterwards. "The 100 club is a huge thing. To do it this quickly is amazing. I'm proud, I'm happy. "I've said it many times - a striker for City should score a lot of goals. That's my job, that's what I try to do. And I'm not bad at it!""
"Erling Haaland smashed Alan Shearer's record by reaching 100 Premier League goals faster than anyone in the competition's history - bringing up his century of strikes in Manchester City's win at Fulham on Tuesday. The 25-year-old Norwegian, who could have represented England at international level, has had a scintillating season so far by scoring 20 goals in 19 games in all competitions."
"Haaland leads the top flight's scoring charts, having netted 15 times so far this season, with Brentford's Igor Thiago the nearest challenger with 11 for the Bees. Since joining from Borussia Dortmund in 2022, Haaland has chalked up a string of feats, and to beat Shearer's long-standing record by reaching 100 goals in only 111 games ranks highly on his list of achievements."
Erling Haaland reached 100 Premier League goals in 111 matches, the fastest in competition history, surpassing Alan Shearer's previous 124-game mark. The milestone came in Manchester City's 5-4 win at Fulham, where Haaland scored from Jeremy Doku's cross, hit the post twice, and provided two assists. The 25-year-old Norwegian has scored 20 goals in 19 games in all competitions this season and leads the Premier League with 15 goals, ahead of Brentford's Igor Thiago on 11. Since joining from Borussia Dortmund in 2022, Haaland has accumulated multiple feats while still trailing Shearer's overall tally of 260 Premier League goals.
