Erling Haaland, who scored the first goal in Manchester City’s match at Fulham, became the 35th footballer to join the Premier League’s “100 club.”
The Norwegian striker also completed the milestone in his 111th game, breaking Alan Shearer’s previous record of 13 appearances set in 1995.
Haaland’s Premier League total goals-per-game rate is now 0.90, which puts him in line with Shearer’s overall goals-corcorating total of 260, which was established in 1992-93 when it dissolved from the English Football League.
