Erling Haaland has rewritten Premier League history once again. The Manchester City striker, still only 25 years old, has officially joined the elite Premier League 100 Club—and he did it in a way no other player ever has. His opener in the wild 5–4 win over Fulham pushed him to the milestone and opened the door to a deeper look at a goalscoring phenomenon the league has never seen before.

How Fast Did Haaland Reach 100 Goals?

The short answer: absurdly fast.
The longer one: 111 matches, which makes him the fastest player ever to hit triple digits in Premier League history.

He shattered every previous benchmark:

• 13 games faster than Alan Shearer, the league’s all-time top scorer
• 30 faster than Harry Kane
• 36 faster than Sergio Agüero
• 49 faster than Thierry Henry
• 51 faster than Mohamed Salah

And he had been breaking partial records long before reaching this milestone:

• Hit 10 goals in just six games
• Needed 19 matches to reach 25
• Scored 50 goals in only 48 appearances, another Premier League record

No one in England accelerates toward history the way Haaland does.

How Does Haaland Score His Goals?

Haaland is a predator with a frightening level of efficiency. His finishing profile shows a striker who lives inside the box and punishes every gap:

• 71 goals with his left foot
• 11 with his right
• 17 headers
• 1 classified as “other” – the chaotic tap-in at Stamford Bridge in 2023

The shot map is even more telling:
94 of his 100 goals came from inside the penalty area, with just six from outside.
If the ball is near the penalty spot, the danger is almost automatic.

How Reliable Is He from the Penalty Spot?

Extremely.
Haaland has 17 Premier League goals from 20 penalties, missing only three (vs Sheffield United, Everton, and Liverpool).
His combination of power and cold-blooded precision gives City one of the most reliable penalty takers in the world.

Which Teams Has Haaland Punished the Most?

Some Premier League clubs are already traumatized by him.

The biggest victim: Wolverhampton Wanderers, conceding 10 goals in six matches, including:

• A goal on Haaland’s first meeting with Wolves
• A hat-trick at the Etihad
• A four-goal explosion in last season’s 5–1 win
• A brace in this year’s opener

Behind Wolves on his hit list:

• West Ham United – 9 goals
• Manchester United – 8 goals

What Does Haaland’s 100-Goal Mark Mean for Manchester City?

Haaland becomes the seventh City player to score 100 Premier League goals. Only Sergio Agüero reached the milestone entirely in City blue; the others—Andrew Cole, Frank Lampard, Robbie Fowler, Nicolas Anelka and Raheem Sterling—spread their goals across multiple clubs.

He is also the first Scandinavian to enter the Premier League 100 Club, making Norway the 14th nation represented among century-level scorers—an achievement that eluded the likes of Ole Gunnar Solskjær, Alexander Isak and Fredrik Ljungberg.

Haaland isn’t just breaking records. He’s making the Premier League rethink what a goalscoring peak looks like.
