Haaland sets Premier League 100-goal record

Erling Haaland smashed Alan Shearer's record by reaching 100 Premier League goals faster than anyone in the competition's history - bringing up his century of strikes in Manchester City's win at Fulham

The 25-year-old Norwegian, who could have represented England at international level, has had a scintillating season so far by scoring 20 goals in 19 games in all competitions.

Haaland had unusually come into the Fulham game on the back of three consecutive blanks in front of goal, in defeats by Newcastle and Bayer Leverkusen and the win against Leeds at the weekend. But he got back among the goals with a lovely finish, steering home Jeremy Doku's cross in the first half of a thrilling encounter that ended in a 5-4 win for Manchester City.

"A proud moment. The 100 club is a huge thing. To do it this quickly is amazing. I'm proud, I'm happy. I've said it many times - a striker for City should score a lot of goals. That's my job, that's what I try to do. And I'm not bad at it!" Haaland said.
