Haaland Surpasses Latest Premier League Top Scorers and Heads for Record

Norwegian striker reaches 25 goals with Manchester City having only played half of the English Premier League games. A goal per game average that could be historic.
With 25 goals in 19 games in the English Premier League, Haaland is marching towards securing his name among the top scorers in the Premier League. There are 18 games left for Manchester City in the league, and the Norwegian striker has already scored more goals than the top scorers of the last four editions. He lives 24 hours for his profession, his work, or his passion. He doesn't get very stressed when he's doing well or poorly, he's stable, he feels the losses. He's very good. The numbers are incredible. I didn't know that, but I knew he had scored a lot of goals. It's the first game of the second half and look at how many goals he's already scored - praised Manchester City coach, Pep Guardiola.
Haaland left behind the 23 goals scored by Salah/Son in the Premier League in 2021/22, by Kane in 2020/21, and by Vardy in 2019/20. And also the 22 goals made by Aubameyang, Mane and Salah in 2018/19. In the history of the Premier League, the top scorers of a single edition were Andy Cole, for Newcastle, in 1993/94, and Alan Shearer, for Blackburn, in 1994/95, both with 34 goals. The difference is that at that time the championship was played by 22 teams (not 20 as now), that is, 42 rounds (four more). No one has scored more goals than games played, as the striker of Manchester City has maintained, boasting an average of 1.3 goals per game.
The hat-trick in the victory of the citizens over Wolverhampton, on Sunday, was Haaland's fourth in the English Premier League. He reached the mark in just 19 games, surpassing the 65 games it took for Ruud van Nistelrroy to reach the same level. The Norwegian still has more hat-tricks in the Premier League than Cristiano Ronaldo (3) and as many as Salah (4).
