Erling Haaland has rewritten the history books by surpassing Andy Cole’s Premier League 50-goal milestone, achieving this feat in just 48 games in the English top tier.

Adding another chapter to his legacy, Haaland etched his name in history when Nathan Ake maneuvered around Liverpool’s defense during Saturday’s midday clash. Ake passed the ball to Haaland, who took two touches before skillfully maneuvering the ball past Alisson, propelling Manchester City into the lead.

Haaland has now reached the 50-goal mark faster than any other player in Premier League history. The Norwegian sensation achieved this milestone in his 48th game, a staggering 17 games quicker than the previous record-holder, Andy Cole.

“Another record broken. Mr Inevitable,” exclaimed a fan on X, formerly known as Twitter. Another user remarked, “He’s only been in the league for less than a season and a half you know…”

“Good thing it’s happening the most competitive league in the world,” joked a third user. Another chimed in, saying, “Haaland is just so incredible man. it’s such a privilege watch him just in general, but being able to watch him play for City is so beautiful.”

Since his move from Borussia Dortmund to City in 2022, Haaland has consistently broken records. In the previous season, he surpassed Mo Salah’s record of 32 goals in a 38-game season, triumphing over Alan Shearer and Andy Cole, who had scored 34 goals in the 42-game competition during the 1990s.

His tally reached 52 goals across all competitions for Pep Guardiola’s team last season, making him the first top-flight player to achieve a half-century of goals in a single campaign since Tom ‘Pongo’ Waring did so for Aston Villa in 1931.

With his opening goal against Liverpool, Haaland’s total has now surged to 70. He once again leads the Premier League scoring charts, having already netted 14 goals this season.
