"Erling Haaland will have to wait at least another another few days to join the Premier League 100 club after he was kept off the score sheet in Manchester City's 3-2 victory over Leeds United on Saturday. Haaland is in a race to break Alan Shearer's longstanding record as the fastest player to 100 goals. The Norway striker is just one shy of the century mark after 110 games -- Shearer set the record in 1995 in his 124th match."
"It would have been a little poetic had Haaland netted his 100th goal against Leeds -- the city of his birth midway through his father, Ale Inge Haaland's, three-year spell at the Yorkshire club. He still has plenty of breathing room to break Shearer's record, although he has some way to go to clinch his ultimate scoring title: Shearer is still the league's all-time top scorer with 260 goals. Phil Foden scored a stoppage-time winner to see City past Leeds in a 3-2 victory."
Erling Haaland remains one goal short of 100 Premier League goals after being kept off the scoresheet in Manchester City's 3-2 victory over Leeds United. Haaland has reached 99 goals in 110 matches and is chasing Alan Shearer's fastest-to-100 mark, which was set in 1995 in Shearer's 124th game. Shearer remains the Premier League's all-time top scorer with 260 goals. Phil Foden scored a stoppage-time winner as City prevailed. Leeds recovered from a 2-0 halftime deficit to level before conceding. Haaland was born in Leeds during his father Ale Inge Haaland's spell at the club.
