Erling Haaland continues to defy expectations with his exceptional goal-scoring prowess, and the latest numbers suggest he's on course to rewrite the Premier League record books. The Manchester City striker's winning goal against Brentford on Sunday further cemented his status as one of the deadliest finishers in the league.

Astonishing Scoring Feats
Haaland's tally now stands at 18 goals in just 11 games for both club and country this season, bringing his total to 37 for the calendar year. With up to 22 games remaining before the end of December, projections indicate he could finish the year with a career-high total of 57 goals, eclipsing his previous best of 50.

The Norway international has already made history in the Champions League, becoming the quickest player to reach 50 goals in the competition. He achieved this feat in just 49 appearances, shattering Ruud van Nistelrooy's record of 62 games. Cristiano Ronaldo, the competition's all-time leading scorer, took 91 games to reach the same milestone.

Premier League Records Within Reach
Haaland's Premier League goal tally now stands at 94 in 104 appearances, giving him an unprecedented strike rate. He's on track to become the quickest player to join the 100-goal club, potentially surpassing Alan Shearer, who needed 125 games to achieve the feat. Projections suggest that if Haaland maintains his current scoring rate, he'll break Shearer's record of 260 Premier League goals in September 2030, potentially reaching an astonishing 389 goals.

With nine years remaining on his contract and having just turned 25, Haaland's future looks bright. The data suggests he's an outlier in terms of his goal-scoring ability, and if he continues at this rate, he could go on to break numerous Premier League scoring records. As Jamie Carragher aptly put it, Haaland is English football's "greatest goalscorer." The player himself echoed this sentiment, stating, "I've never felt better than I do now."
