In the battle against Fulham, Haaland faced a record battle. After the goal, Haaland scored 34 goals in 30 games, equalling the Premier League single-season goal record held by Andy Cole and Shearer. At the same time, Haaland also became the first Premier League player in history to score 50 goals in a single season.
In a crucial battle against Arsenal, Haaland scored his 33rd Premier League career goal in the final minute, thus breaking Salah's record for a goal scored in a single season in 38 rounds of the Premier League in 2017-18. The all-time Premier League single-season goal record is held by Shearer and Cole, both of whom have scored 34 goals in 42 Premier League matches.
Just two minutes into the opening game against Fulham, Alvarez was knocked down in the box, the referee awarded a penalty, and Haaland took the penalty.
It was Haaland's 34th goal in the Premier League, equalling the records held by Cole (40) and Shearer (42). With six Premier League games to go, Haaland is sure to set that record.
It was also Haaland's 50th goal this season, becoming the first Premier League player in history to score 50 goals in a single season. The previous single-season goal record in the Premier League was 45 goals scored by Salah and Van Nistelrooy.
Among them, Haaland has scored 34 goals in the Premier League, 12 in the Champions League, 3 in the FA Cup and 1 in the Carabao Cup. In his first season with Manchester City, Haaland will win the Premier League, Champions League Golden Boot and European Golden Boot.
Back in early April, Shearer said, "I'm too cautious to say Haaland will score 50 goals. Who knows exactly how many goals Haaland will score, maybe he can surpass Dixie Dean, who has scored 60 goals in a single season, which is really scary! ”
After scoring 50 goals, equalling the Premier League single-season goal record and locking up the Premier League Golden Boot, Haaland is on his way to the goal of 60 goals!
