Erling Haaland and his late goal in Arsenal’s 4-1 triumph increases his league total to 33 and extends his lead in the Golden Boot chase. It also means he has surpassed Mo Salah’s 38-game streak. In 2017/18, the Egyptian had 32 goals.
Andrew Cole and Alan Shearer currently hold the record for most Premier League goals, with 34 in 1993/94 and 1994/95, when the season was 42 games long.
With seven league games left, Haaland only needs two more goals to break the record. Haaland’s performance in his debut season in England has been crucial to Pep Guardiola’s side’s chances of winning a sixth title in six seasons and a third in a row.
He started the season with 18 goals in his first 13 Premier League games, including hat-tricks against Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest, and Manchester United. Read More: A Kevin De Bruyne Brace Gives City the Upper Hand in Title Race.
Erling Haaland The Record Maker
Haaland has continued to impress since the return of domestic play following the World Cup, scoring his fourth Premier League hat-trick against Wolves in January.
He has scored eight goals in his past eight league outings. Haaland has already set a club record with 49 goals this season.
That is the most of any Premier League player in all competitions, surpassing Ruud van Nistelrooy’s 44 in 2002/03 and Salah’s 44 in 2017/18. He’s also the top scorer in this year’s UEFA Champions League, with 11 goals in seven games.
