Erling Haaland is two Premier League goals shy of 100 after a remarkable start to his time at Man City. Since joining the club ahead of the 2022\u201323 season he has scored 98 goals in 107 top-flight appearances.<\/p>\n
Alan Shearer currently holds the mark for the quickest 100 Premier League goals, reaching the century in 124 appearances. Haaland therefore has his next 16 league appearances to break the long-standing record.<\/p>\n
The list of quickest players to 100 Premier League goals, by appearances, reads as follows:
\n1 Alan Shearer 124
\n2 Harry Kane 141
\n3 Sergio Ag\u00fcero 147
\n4 Thierry Henry 160
\n5 Mohamed Salah 162
\n6 Ian Wright 173
\n7 Robbie Fowler 175
\n8 Les Ferdinand 178
\nT-9 Michael Owen 185
\nT-9 Andrew Cole 185<\/p>\n
The Premier League has been home to many of the game\u2019s most prolific scorers, including Thierry Henry, Harry Kane and Mohamed Salah, yet Shearer\u2019s record has stood since 1995. Haaland arrives at the cusp of matching and then surpassing that benchmark in the early months of his fourth Premier League season.<\/p>\n
Haaland\u2019s Premier League output since his move from Borussia Dortmund to Man City is detailed by season in the original figures: 2022\u201323: 36 goals in 35 appearances; 2023\u201324: 27 goals in 31 appearances; 2024\u201325: 22 goals in 31 appearances; 2025\u201326: 13 goals in 10 appearances (and counting). Those totals combine to the 98 goals in 107 appearances quoted above.<\/p>\n
Haaland can become the fastest player to reach 100 Premier League goals as early as Sunday, Nov. 9, when Man City host Liverpool. If the superstar forward bags a brace against the defending English champions, he can snag the record before the November international break, reaching 100 in 108 appearances compared to Shearer\u2019s 124. If he does not do so against Liverpool, his next chance will come against Newcastle United on Saturday, Nov. 22.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
