In a dazzling display, Manchester City’s Erling Haaland becomes the quickest player in Premier League history to notch 50 goals, achieving this feat in just 48 games, breaking Andrew Cole’s record of 65 matches.
Haaland showcased his scoring prowess, netting the milestone goal against Liverpool in the 27th minute, a left-footed strike beautifully set up by Nathan Aké.
With an astonishing tally of 18 goals in 20 appearances across various competitions this season, the 23-year-old outpaces football legends Alan Shearer, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Fernando Torres, and Mohamed Salah on the path to 50 goals.
His incredible goal-scoring abilities were evident last season, where his 36 goals set a Premier League record for a single campaign, solidifying his impact since joining Manchester City from Borussia Dortmund in 2022.
