Scored in a 4-1 victory over Arsenal on the morning of April 27, Haaland surpassed Salah to become the highest scorer in the history of the Premier League with 38 rounds.
In injury time 90+4, Erling Haaland suddenly untied his tie to play with his hair down. It seemed that the Dutch player was ready for the final whistle, but no, Haaland continued to run, received Phil Foden’s slot and had a goal to set the score 4-1 for Man City when the match was only also in seconds.
The left foot shot into the net of Arsenal put Haaland in history as the player who scored the most goals in a Premier League season (38 rounds). The former Dortmund star has reached 33 goals, breaking the record held by Mohamed Salah (32 goals in the 2017/18 season). Behind are three players with 31 goals including Alan Shearer (1995/96), Cristiano Ronaldo (2007/08) and Luis Suarez (2013/14).
Even with 7 matches in hand, Haaland also has the opportunity to break the all-time Premier League scoring record of the legendary duo Andy Cole and Shearer with 34 goals scored when the English Premier League is still taking place in the following format. 42 rounds.
Goals from Haaland, John Stones and Kevin De Bruyne’s brace helped Man City sink Arsenal 4-1, thereby gaining an advantage in the title race. “Cityzens” is 2 points behind “The Gunners” but still has two unplayed matches in hand.
