"With a goal at Craven Cottage in the 17th minute,the phenomenal City striker reached 100 goals in the Premier League quicker than any other player on record, taking just111 games to reach triple digits. He has once again absolutely obliterated the previous record, which had been held by Premier League icon (and all-time top goal scorer) Alan Shearer for three decades."
"10. Michael Owen and Andy Cole (100 goals in 185 games) With 337 Premier League goals between them, both Owen and Cole are recognized for their formidable finishing and goal-scoring acumen, but unfortunately both were almost leisurely in their pursuit of their respective centuries -- at least in comparison to Haaland's relentless productivity. Cole was also the former holder of the 50-goal record which stood at 65 games until Haaland came along and shattered it"
Erling Haaland has scored 143 goals in 164 appearances for Manchester City since joining in 2022. He became the fastest player to reach 50 Premier League goals, doing so in 48 games, and reached 100 Premier League goals in a record 111 games after scoring at Fulham. Haaland surpassed long-standing records previously held by Alan Shearer and others. A list of the fastest Premier League centurions places Haaland at number one, while Michael Owen and Andy Cole each took 185 games to reach 100 goals. Andy Cole previously held the 50-goal record at 65 games before Haaland broke it.
