By the numbers: Haaland obliterates records en route to 100th EPL goal

Manchester City's Erling Haaland reached 100 Premier League goals in just his 111th appearance in the competition Tuesday by opening the scoring in a scarcely believable 5-4 win at Fulham.

The 25-year-old fittingly celebrated the landmark with a thumping finish from near the penalty spot.

Here are some standout numbers from Haaland's journey to 100 strikes in England's top tier:

1.43 - Haaland raced to an otherworldly strike rate of 1.43 goals per game over his first 20 Premier League matches. He was also unsurprisingly the fastest to 30 Premier League goals (in 27 games), 40 goals (in 39), and 50 goals (in 48).

2 - Haaland is just the second Manchester City player to log 100 Premier League goals after Sergio Aguero. Aguero scored his 100th goal in his 147th appearance in England's top flight and signed off with an overall record of 184 goals in 275 Premier League outings.

13 - Haaland has reached 100 goals in 13 fewer games than Alan Shearer, who held the record for the fastest Premier League century since his 124th appearance in December 1995.

15 - The Norwegian's 100th finish is his 15th goal of the current Premier League campaign. He's only played 14 games.

35 - Haaland is the 35th player to join the Premier League's 100-goal club.

43 - Forty-three strikes from Haaland's century were scored on the road. Since he joined the Premier League, no other player has more than 31 away goals.

71 - The former Borussia Dortmund marksman scored 71 of his Premier League goals with his left foot. The 6-foot-5 striker netted 17 times with his head.

119 - Haaland reached 119 goal involvements in his 111th Premier League appearance with one goal and two assists at Fulham.

160 - Haaland still has 160 goals to go to match Shearer's all-time Premier League scoring record of 260. The nearest active players to Shearer's mark are Bayern Munich's Harry Kane (213), Liverpool's Mohamed Salah (190), and Cremonese's Jamie Vardy (145).
