📈 Haaland's Premier League record-breaking train rolls on
Manchester City star Erling Haaland continues to prove his goalscoring credentials under Pep Guardiola after bagging the match opener against Brighton at the Amex.
The Norwegian goal machine converted from close range past Bart Verbruggen to seal his 12th goal in just 11 Premier League appearances this season on a night where the champions look to pile pressure on rivals Liverpool.
But Haaland’s strike was more than just another tally on his impressive CV.
With that goal, the former Borussia Dortmund wunderkind has now become the fastest player to reach 75 Premier League goals in league history, needing just 77 appearances to achieve that feat.
