Erling Haaland has once again affirmed his status as the most fearsome goal machine in the English Premier League. The Manchester City striker officially set a new record as the fastest player to score 100 goals in Premier League history.
Haaland's 100th goal came during his team's dramatic 5-4 win over Fulham at Craven Cottage on Wednesday, December 3, 2025, early morning WIB.
In the goal-fest, Haaland wasn't particularly lucky. The Norwegian striker scored just once, while two other golden chances hit the woodwork. But that single goal was enough to make history.

As reported by Opta, this record also surpasses the achievement of one of the Premier League's greatest icons, Alan Shearer.
The former Newcastle legendary striker previously amassed 100 goals in 124 matches.
Haaland achieved it 13 games faster, a margin that reflects the striker's extraordinary dominance since arriving at the Etihad.
This record further cements that Haaland isn't just a one-season phenomenon, but the new standard for modern strikers in England.
Solid at the Top of the Premier League's Top Scorer Chart
Adding one goal against Fulham has solidified Haaland's position at the top of the 2025/2026 Premier League top scorer list.
He has now collected 15 goals, leading his closest challenger, Brentford's Brazilian striker Igor Thiago – who has been a surprise package this season with 11 goals – by four goals.
Below Thiago, the competition is tight with Danny Welbeck (Brighton) and Jean-Philippe Mateta (Crystal Palace) both having netted 7 goals so far this season.
The Haaland Era Has Only Just Begun
Despite contributing only one goal at Craven Cottage, Haaland once again demonstrated that even his minimum standard is sufficient to write history.
His consistency, efficiency, and ever-present threat suggest this record is just the beginning.
Manchester City may have emerged as winners in the nine-goal drama, but the name that resonated loudest after the match was Haaland – the predator who is now the fastest player to score 100 goals in the English Premier League.
