Erling Haaland Shatters Premier League Records with Goal Against Fulham! 👏

Erling Haaland had been in a bit of a goal drought—three games without finding the net—a rare dry patch for someone of his astonishing calibre. But fear not, he soon put that right with a typically clinical finish to kick things off at Fulham.

Not only did that strike hand City the lead, but it also catapulted the brilliant Norwegian into the history books of the Premier League.

Haaland had been languishing on 99 goals since netting against Liverpool on November 9, but he broke through the century barrier with a composed finish from Jérémy Doku's cutback at the penalty spot.

He also smashed Alan Shearer's record for the quickest player to reach this milestone, and now he’s got his sights firmly set on overtaking the Newcastle and Blackburn legend in the all-time scoring charts.

He’s still a whopping 160 goals away, but who would bet against him smashing all the scoring records in English football—both before and after the Premier League—well before he hangs up his boots?
