The 25-year-old striker achieved the milestone in just 111 league appearances, surpassing the previous record of 124 matches held by former Newcastle and Blackburn forward Alan Shearer.

Signed from Borussia Dortmund in 2022, Haaland ended a brief three-game goalless run against Newcastle, Bayer Leverkusen, and Leeds to reach the century.

His 17th-minute goal against Fulham, assisted by Jeremy Doku, saw him unleash a powerful finish from 12 yards that beat goalkeeper Bernd Leno.

Of his 100 Premier League goals, 71 have been scored with his left foot and 17 with his head.

Haaland now has 15 league goals this season and 20 across all competitions.

Despite this record-breaking feat, Haaland still trails Shearer’s all-time Premier League scoring mark of 260 goals.
