Haaland Sets New Premier League Record: Fastest Player to Reach 100 Goals

Manchester City‘s Norwegian striker, Erling Haaland, has made his mark in Premier League history. During a match against Fulham on December 2, 2025, Haaland scored his 100th goal in just 111 appearances. This achievement makes him the fastest player ever to reach this milestone in the league’s history.

The record-setting goal was scored in the 17th minute of the game at Craven Cottage. Haaland broke through Fulham’s defense and hit a powerful shot to give City a 1-0 lead. With this goal, he surpassed the previous record held by Alan Shearer, who reached 100 goals in 124 matches. Haaland is also the 35th player to join the elite 100-goal club, highlighting his incredible scoring form since joining Manchester City.

The performance is even more significant as it came after a brief period of two matches without a goal. At 25 years old, Haaland has outpaced legendary players like Harry Kane, Sergio Aguero, and Thierry Henry, all of whom needed more games to reach the same milestone.
