Erling Haaland continues his dazzling form
Erling Haaland reaches yet another milestone in his Manchester City career as he becomes the fastest player to reach 100 Premier League goals. The Norwegian striker continued his deadly form in front of goal by opening the scoring for Manchester City in their win over Fulham, making it 15 goals in 14 matches. Haaland now has 33 goals this season for club and country in 25 games. Moreover, Haaland will have another opportunity to make more history for the Cityzens this weekend, as he could become City’s second all-time top scorer if he nets a hat-trick. Furthermore, considering that City are facing off against Sunderland, Haaland will relish the opportunity to break the record this weekend.
Haaland surpasses Shearer
Haaland’s goals can be heavily attributed to his composure in front of goal, his aerial prowess, as well as his ability to bully and win duels against defenders. Not to mention, he managed to score those 100 goals in 111 appearances, surpassing Shearer who achieved the feat in 124 games. Haaland’s goals will be crucial for City as they face a tricky round of matches in the coming week. The Cityzens will travel to the Bernabéu on Wednesday before being hosted at Selhurst Park on Sunday by Crystal Palace. City currently sit in ninth place in the Champions League after suffering a disappointing defeat to Leverkusen. This means that a victory at the Bernabéu will be crucial to the Sky Blues’ chances of qualifying directly for the Round of 16.
