The Norwegian ace striker Erling Haaland has once again made Premier League history after reaching 100 goals. The Manchester City striker achieved this feat in a faster time than any other player before him. The Norwegian striker reached the milestone in just 111 games, surpassing Alan Shearer’s record of 124.
Not only is Haaland fast, but he also does it with astonishing consistency. His record is proof that he is one of the most efficient goal machines to ever play in this league. Here are some incredible numbers that accompany Haaland’s 100-goal record. The data and statistics illustrate just how dominant he has been since arriving in England.
Fastest Record to Reach 100 Goals
Haaland needed just 111 games to reach 100 goals, making him the fastest player in Premier League history to reach the milestone. Shearer previously held the record with 124 appearances, but Haaland has now surpassed that figure by 13 games. That’s 12 per cent faster than the England legend.
Even players approaching his form would need a full season to reach similar figures. Haaland’s dominance is evident in his efficiency and goal-scoring pace.

Goal King Since Premier League Debut
Since his Manchester City debut in August 2022, Haaland has been unmatched in goalscoring, with 28 more than any other player during the same period. Mohamed Salah is second with 70 goals, while Alexander Isak is third with 55. Both are elite strikers, but they are still far behind Haaland.
This difference highlights just how extraordinary Haaland’s contribution to the City has been. He’s dominated the league from day one.
Haaland has scored against every Premier League club he has faced. A total of 23 teams have experienced his prowess. He’s also scored in 22 of the 23 stadiums he’s visited. The only stadium he’s yet to score in is Anfield.
The Etihad Stadium is certainly his favourite venue, scoring 58 goals in 54 matches. London Stadium is another favourite venue, scoring six goals in three matches.
Breaks the Single-Season Goal Record in First Year
In his debut season in 2022-2023, Haaland immediately broke the Premier League goalscoring record for a single season. He scored 36 goals, surpassing the 34 goals held by Andrew Cole and Alan Shearer.
What makes it even more impressive is that he did it in just 35 games. Cole and Shearer’s records were set when the league still played 42 games per season. This achievement became the initial foundation for Haaland’s dominance in the following seasons.
Potential to Break His Personal Record and Score 52 Goals This Season
With 15 goals in 14 games this season, Haaland is on track to score at least 40 goals. That figure could potentially break his personal record. He only needs 22 more goals in his remaining 24 matches. For Haaland, that’s not a difficult number to achieve, given his consistency.
If this rhythm continues, statistical calculations put him on track to score 52 goals this season. Haaland is now four goals clear of his nearest rival in the top scorers’ list this season. He is well on his way to winning his third Golden Boot in four seasons.
Only Thierry Henry and Mohamed Salah have won four Golden Boots. On current form, Haaland is predicted to surpass them.
This record will further confirm his status as the best Premier League striker of the modern era.
Biggest Goal Contribution in the Manchester City Squad
Of Manchester City’s 294 goals since Haaland’s arrival, 100 have been scored by the striker. This means he accounts for approximately 34 percent of the team’s total goals. No other player in the league has contributed as much to his club. These figures illustrate how central Haaland is to City’s squad.
His productivity has been a key factor in the team’s success in recent seasons. Haaland doesn’t rely solely on one method of scoring goals. He’s scored 71 goals with his left foot, 11 with his right foot, and 17 with headers.
Another goal came in a 4-4 draw against Chelsea in November 2023. He threw himself onto the ball, and it rolled in. The majority of his goals came from inside the penalty box, with 94 goals, while only six goals came from outside the box.
On Track to Become the Premier League’s All-Time Top Scorer
Haaland is currently averaging 0.93 goals per Premier League game, putting him on track to break Alan Shearer’s record of 260 goals.
Based on that calculation, he needs another 174 games to score 161 goals. This puts him on target for around March or April 2031.
With a contract until 2034, Haaland has plenty of time to break that record. If he stays until the age of 35 like Shearer, his goal total could surpass 400.
