Erling Haaland smashes all-time Premier League record with landmark goal for Man City

Dec 2, 2025 - 20:45

Erling Haaland has joined the Premier League 100 club in record-breaking fashion for Manchester City.

The Norwegian superstar scored the opener for City in their Tuesday night trip to Fulham with an excellent first-time effort.

Haaland has become the fastest player in Premier League history to hit 100 goals, doing so in 111 appearances.

All-time record goalscorer Alan Shearer, who netted 260 goals, has now been usurped as he reached the 100-mark in 124 matches.

Haaland is the 35th and newest member of the 100 club, and seventh to have played for City.

He joins Andy Cole, Sergio Aguero, Frank Lampard, Robbie Fowler, Nicolas Anelka and Raheem Sterling as City representatives.
