With his goal once morest Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, Erling Haaland equaled Kun Aguero as the Manchester City player who has scored the most goals (26) in the same Premier League season. The crazy thing regarding all this is that the Norwegian striker still has 15 games left to play.
Taking into account that the man born in 2000 will completely destroy Sergio’s brand, his next challenge will be to position himself as the player who has signed the most goals in the same Premier League campaign.
Erling Braut has 15 games left to try to score 6 goals. If he gets those 6 goals, he will have tied the record of Mohamed Salah (32), who, not long ago, left behind the goals scored by Luis Suárez (31), Cristiano Ronaldo (31) and Alan Shearer (31).
Erling Haaland: 26 goals in 22 games played in the 2022/23 Premier League (38-round format).
Mohamed Salah: 32 goals in 36 games played in the 2017/18 Premier League (38-round format).
If he wants to go for more records, El Androide might try to match or surpass the records achieved when the Premier League format included more games. In the 42-game format, for example, Andy Cole and Alan Shearer managed to convert 34 goals.
oh! And before the First Division was called the Premier League, when the top English circuit was called Football League, there was Dixie Dean, who in a 42-date format campaign, scored 60 goals (he played 39 games). He did it in the 1927/28 campaign.
But, well, the fairest thing is to compare Haaland with the numbers of footballers who played in the 38-game Premier League. And that brand, as we mentioned above, is owned by Mohamed Salah (32).
