Erling Haaland has made Premier League history by becoming the fastest player ever to score 100 goals. The Manchester City striker reached the milestone in only 111 matches.
His achievement breaks a long-standing record held by English football legend Alan Shearer. Shearer needed 124 games to score his first 100 Premier League goals, a mark that stood for 30 years.
Haaland, the 23-year-old Norwegian, scored his historic goal during a match on Saturday. He joined Manchester City in the summer of 2022 and has dominated the league's scoring charts since his arrival.
