Where is the Erling Haaland ranking in the list of the best scorers of the Premier League of all time? When could he break the record of Alan Shearer?
After a so-called “poor” 2024-25 campaign, Erling Haaland watched his best clinic in the victory of Manchester City Derby 3-0 against Manchester United.
While 22 goals last season are hardly bad, Haaland had trouble having the same impact as during his first two seasons in the Premier League, in particular compared to the 2022-23 campaign, where he scored 52 goals in all competitions while City won the triple.
The Norwegian would lack key chances in great moments, which ultimately contributed to the finish of the city below expectations in third place.
But against United, he looked at his best ruthless, withdrawing City out of the reach of their rivals in the second period with two well -stored finishes.
The first was a cool chip on the goalkeeper United Altay Bayindir, before loading at home at the brand house to fill the 3-0 victory and bring his count this season with five goals in four games.
Manager Pep Guardiola said: “Erling has been incredible from the start, but this season is better than ever. I would say better than the triple year.
“He is dynamic and I do not judge him for the releases, we want him to score goals and help us.”
Erling Haaland Premier League goals
It was only the fourth season of Haaland in the Premier League, but it seems that it is already the one where he joined the 100 club – for the players who scored 100 or more goals in the competition.
Then is a double derby, the haaland count is now 90 goals, which means that it only needs 10 additional goals to join this exclusive club, which currently has 34 members.
The rate at which the Norwegian hitman accumulates the figures is amazing, having played only 101 games in competition. He had 22 other games to score these 10 goals to become the fastest player to reach 100 goals in competition.
For the context, Liverpool Talisman Mohamed Salah took 162 games to achieve this feat, with the second striker Harry Kane who needed 144. Record goalscorer Alan Shearer did in 124.
How long will Haaland take to break the Shearer’s record?
With Haaland signing a huge contract with City last season which does not expire before 2034, it seems only a matter of time before the attacker broke the longtime record of 260 goals in the Premier League.
He has 90 goals in 101 Premier League games, a rate of 0.89 goals per game. Continue at this rate and Haaland will eclipse Shearer in 191 games, which is equivalent to around five seasons.
In total, this would mean that he could break the record in eight seasons – an astounding difference from the 14 Shearer took to reach his count.
It seems that the only thing that could prevent the 25 -year -old player from breaking the record is that he leaves the Premier League for new pastures, with a 2029 pause clause in his contract and that Real Madrid of Giants de Laliga is often listed as a long -term destination.
