Erling Haaland once again showed class against Liverpool today as he netted in the 27th minute, reaching 50 goals in the premier league with just 48 appearances. A new record was set by him.
The attacker for Manchester City somewhat messed up his shot, but it was still too strong for Alisson, whose feeble hand allowed the ball to enter the goal.
He currently holds the record for being the player to achieve 50 Premier League goals the quickest.
But for Haaland to surpass Cristiano Ronaldo as the player with the most career goals, he would need to put up remarkable, steady performances all throughout his career. Whether he can top the incredible feat of the living icon is yet to be seen. How do you feel about this?
Below is a list of players who attained comparable heights.
- Erling Haaland: 48 games
- Andy Cole: 65 games
- Alan Shearer: 66 games
- Ruud van Nistelrooy: 68 games
- Mo Salah and Fernando Torres: 72 games each
