Erling Haaland: Manchester City striker makes Premier League history against Liverpool

Another day. Another game. Another goal. Another record for Erling Haaland.

The Manchester City striker became the fastest man to score 50 Premier League goals with the opener in their 1-1 draw with Liverpool on Saturday.

Haaland has not just broken that record, he has shattered it into tiny smithereens, taking just 48 league games to reach the milestone.

The previous record holder, Andrew Cole, needed 65 games to reach that landmark. Alan Shearer - still the all-time record Premier League scorer - took 66 matches.

It is just the latest record broken by Haaland, who has not stopped scoring for City since his switch from Borussia Dortmund last summer.
