The Record in Sight

Erling Haaland stands one goal away from Premier League history.

The Norwegian striker has 99 goals in 110 Premier League appearances heading into Manchester City’s trip to Craven Cottage on Tuesday, December 2 (7:30 PM GMT). One more goal makes him the fastest player ever to reach 100 in the competition, smashing Alan Shearer’s record of 124 games set back in 1995.

That is 14 games faster than anyone in history.

Haaland has scored in every Premier League meeting with Fulham since joining City in 2022. His hat-trick in September 2023 took just 37 minutes during a 5-1 demolition at the Etihad. He has converted penalties against the Cottagers in multiple fixtures, including the final day of the 2024-25 season.

Only Sergio Aguero (six goals in eight games) has matched Haaland’s tally against Fulham for Manchester City. No other City player has scored six in their first six meetings with the same opponent.

Haaland has 14 games remaining to score just one goal and claim the record. At his current rate of 1.12 goals per 90 minutes, the only question is when, not if.

Transfer Status

🔴 STAYING  –  Not for sale at any price.

Haaland signed a historic 10-year contract extension in January 2025, tying him to Manchester City until 2034. The deal removed all release clauses from his previous contract and is reportedly worth over £260 million total.

His agent Rafaela Pimenta suggested Haaland could earn over €1 billion across the length of the contract when factoring in wages, bonuses, and image rights.

Real Madrid and Barcelona had been linked with the striker for years, but this extension ended all speculation.

Haaland on his future: “I’m really happy to have signed my new contract. Manchester City is a special club. Now I am City no matter what happens.”

Key Numbers to Watch Tuesday

  • 99: Premier League goals. One more breaks Shearer’s record.
  • 6: Goals in 6 career games against Fulham.
  • 14: Games to spare if he scores once at Craven Cottage.
  • 0-12: Bernd Leno’s personal record against Haaland. The Fulham goalkeeper has conceded 34 goals in those 12 meetings.
  • 18: Manchester City’s winning streak against Fulham, dating back to 2009.

What the Experts Say

Pep Guardiola on Haaland: “To find a player like Erling, it’s so difficult to find a striker at that level. Of course he is a special player.”

Alan Shearer (BBC Match of the Day): Admitted Haaland’s achievement breaking his goal involvements record was “very impressive.”

Haaland on his current form: “Yes, you can say I’m in the best form of my life. I’ve never felt better than I do now.”

10
Bottom Line

Erling Haaland enters Craven Cottage on the brink of history. His record against Fulham (six goals in six games) and the Cottagers’ struggles against elite strikers make this an ideal stage for his 100th Premier League goal.

The only surprise would be if he does not find the net.
