Haaland Hits 100 Premier League Goals – But Is This Just the Beginning?

There’s something electric about watching a goal machine at work — and Manchester City’s Erling Haaland is nothing short of a whirlwind in the Premier League. Shattering records left and right, he’s just become the fastest player ever to notch 100 league goals. Think about that for a second: 100 goals in just 111 appearances! That’s blazing past Alan Shearer’s previous best of 124 games. It wasn’t just a simple milestone either. In that jaw-dropping 5-4 thriller against Fulham at Craven Cottage, Haaland slammed in the opener commanding the stage like a true titan. And yet, he’s restless, almost like the hunger inside him grows bigger after every goal — “I should have had a hat-trick,” he said, a nod to his relentless pursuit of perfection. The guy’s knocking on the door of football immortality, with club goals tallying up to 144 since his 2022 arrival, and when asked if he’s got another 100 in him? “Why not?” he responds with that steely confidence. As a long-time observer of the beautiful game, I can’t tell you how thrilling it is to witness such a prodigy rewriting history — chaotic, dramatic games with goals flying in at all angles, and a striker who simply owns his job. This is football at its mesmerizing best. LEARN MORE.

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland says scoring goals is his job after becoming the fastest player to reach 100 Premier League goals in an astonishing 5-4 win at Fulham.

Haaland thumped in the opener at Craven Cottage to reach the landmark three figures on his 111th Premier League appearance.

Alan Shearer held the previous record, scoring 100 in 124 games. Haaland now has 144 goals for the club since joining in 2022 but thinks he should have more.

“It’s a proud moment,” he told Sky Sports. “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!

“I should have had a hat-trick, I had a few chances. I need to practice.”

Haaland hit the post twice in a crazy game and when asked if he has another 100 in him simply answered: “Why not?”.

Shearer remains the Premier League’s all time goalscorer on 260, while Liverpool’s Mo Salah has the most of players still playing in the league on 190.

“[It was] chaotic,” Haaland said. “Nine goals in a game is too much. If you’re watching this game at home, it should be match of the day as you said! It was a crazy game.

“At 5-2 or 5-3 I was close to scoring and then they went and made it 5-3 so that’s football, that’s the beauty of football. That’s why we love the game.”
