Erling Haaland has rewritten the record books once again, achieving the title of the quickest player in Premier League history to amass 50 goals and assists, a feat accomplished with his remarkable three-goal performance against Fulham.

THE BREAKDOWN: Haaland’s astonishing achievement saw him eclipse the previous record held by Andy Cole, who achieved this milestone in 43 games. In contrast, the Norwegian sensation accomplished it in a mere 39 appearances.

He began by setting up Julian Alvarez’s opening goal with an assist, followed by two goals of his own—a precise slotted finish and a calmly converted penalty. Later in the game, he added a third goal to bring his tally to 51.

THE WIDER PICTURE: Haaland’s form has been scorching hot this season, with an impressive six goals in just four matches. This follows his remarkable tally of 52 goals in 53 appearances across all competitions last season. His exceptional form is poised to play a pivotal role in Manchester City’s pursuit of the league title.

WHAT LIES AHEAD: Manchester City is scheduled to face West Ham in their upcoming match next weekend.
