Haaland is from another planet and a goal machine. The Norwegian gave Manchester City the lead in the third minute after converting a penalty against Fulham at Craven Cottage.

Erling Haaland becomes the first player to score more than 50 goals across all competitions in a single English top-flight season since 1931. The Norwegian has already gone down in the history books in his first season in the Premier League.

The former Dortmund player has already scored 34 domestic goals this season after converting a third-minute penalty against Fulham at Craven Cottage.

In doing so, the '9' joins Andy Cole and Alan Shearer who scored the same number in 1993/1994 and 1994/1995 respectively.

In addition to 34 Premier League goals, the Norwegian has scored 12 goals in the Champions League so far, three in the FA Cup and one in the EFL Cup.
