Haaland sets goalscoring standard after 100 Premier League appearances | OneFootball

No player in Premier League history has scored more goals in their first 100 appearances than Erling Haaland.

The Norwegian netted his 88th goal in the English top-flight as he brought up three figures in Sunday's 2-1 defeat at Brighton.

It means he has nine more than Alan Shearer at the same point in their Premier League career.

Shearer scored 79 of his record 260 goals in the division in his first 100 games - needing a total of 441 games to get to his final figure.

Former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy is next in the list with 68 before City legend Sergio Aguero, who scored 64 times in his first 100 league games for us.

It's just the latest landmark in Haaland's astonishingly prolific time in Manchester.

This goal took him to 127 goals in 149 appearances in total for City and 262 strikes in 332 senior games for all clubs.

He needed just 105 games to become the 19th man to 100 goals for City last September.

After just three complete seasons in England, he has already won two Golden Boots - including a single season record of 36 in his first campaign.

Those talents in front of goal have been a key part of the seven major honours City have won since the Norwegian arrived at the Etihad.

Congratulations to Erling on this latest milestone in his extraordinary career.
