In a historic achievement, Manchester City‘s star striker, Erling Haaland, has left an indelible mark on the annals of Premier League history, shattering the record for the quickest 50 goals in the league. The Norwegian sensation accomplished this milestone during City’s clash against Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, marking a pivotal moment in his prolific career.
Haaland’s 50th Premier League goal came in a mere 48 games, surpassing the previous record held by former Manchester United and Newcastle striker, Andy Cole, who took 65 games to achieve the same feat. The breakthrough moment occurred in the 27th minute, as Haaland clinically slotted a low shot into the bottom corner, leaving Liverpool’s goalkeeper, Alisson, with no chance.
This extraordinary achievement adds another chapter to Haaland’s goal-scoring prowess, with his 18th goal in 20 appearances across all competitions this season. Last season, Haaland played a pivotal role in Manchester City’s triumphant campaign, securing a treble of trophies—the Premier League, Champions League, and FA Cup—by netting an impressive 52 goals.
In his debut season in England, Haaland set the Premier League record for the most goals in a single campaign, amassing 36 as Manchester City clinched their third consecutive league title. The 23-year-old striker has consistently proven to be a goal-scoring machine, leaving a trail of remarkable performances wherever he goes.
Before gracing the Premier League, Haaland showcased his scoring prowess with Red Bull Salzburg, notching 16 goals in 14 appearances in his final season with the club. His stint with Borussia Dortmund further solidified his reputation, scoring an impressive 62 goals in 67 games over three seasons.
With this latest record, Haaland not only holds the Premier League’s fastest 50-goal milestone but also boasts the title of the Champions League’s fastest player to reach 30 goals. As he approaches the halfway mark to 100 Premier League goals, the football world eagerly anticipates whether he can surpass the legendary Alan Shearer, who achieved the feat in 124 games.
In the midst of a stellar career, Erling Haaland continues to redefine goal-scoring excellence, leaving fans and pundits alike in awe of his remarkable achievements on the football pitch.
