Haaland breaks (again) a Premier League record

This Saturday against Liverpool, Erling Haaland became the fastest player to score 50 goals in the Premier League.

Since his arrival at Manchester City last summer, Erling Haaland panics the counters and erases records one after the other. Author of 36 goals for his first season in the Premier League, the Norwegian started on the same basis this season with already 13 goals in 12 matches before the reception of Liverpool this Saturday.

For this clash between the leader and his runner-up, the former Dortmund player obviously shone. In the 27th minute, he was the first to find the fault in this game after a brilliant move from Nathan Aké. This goal, the 14th this season, is also Haaland’s 50th in the Premier League. In just 48 matches, he has by far erased the previous precocious record held by Andy Cole, who needed 65 matches to reach this milestone.
