The Premier League is arguably one of the most popular and widely followed football leagues in the world.

It is widely regarded as one of the top leagues for club football and boasts a large following of fans globally.

Over the years, the division has seen a number of records set, with clubs, managers, and players alike inking their names in history books.

On Monday night, Mohamed Salah added yet another milestone to the many he has already achieved over the years during his successful spell in the Premier League.

9 EPL records that might never be broken

Sports Brief now takes a look at some of the Premier League records that have previously been set and may never be broken.

The records range from one held by former Liverpool ace Sadio Mane to Arsenal's incredible unbeaten run in the English top flight

9. Quickest hat-trick (Sadio Mane)

Sadio Mane holds the record for the fastest Premier League hat trick.

The Senegalese set the record back in 2015 while playing for Southampton.

At the time, Mane took just two minutes and 56 seconds to score three goals as the Saints mauled Villa 6-1.

8. Most consecutive games played (310)

This record is held by Brad Friedel, who played for 310 consecutive Premier League matches

The American goalkeeper achieved the feat playing for Blackburn Rovers, Aston Villa and Tottenham.

The run came to an end in October 2012 when Andre Villas-Boas benched him to hand Hugo Lloris his Tottenham debut.

7. Oldest player (43 years and 162 days)

John Burridge is the oldest player to feature in a Premier League match.

Burridge was part of the Man City squad that played against QPR in May 1995.

He was aged 43 years and 162 days at the time.

6. Fastest goal (7.69 seconds)

Shane Long needed just 7.69 seconds to score for Southampton vs Watford back in April 2019.

The goal remains the fastest that has ever been scored in the EPL.

5. Most seasons scored in (Ryan Giggs)

One outstanding thing for Ryan Giggs during his Old Trafford career was his longevity.

According to The Mirror, the legendary winger made over 960 appearances for Manchester United during his more than a 20-year illustrious career with the Red Devils.

During the period, Giggs scored in 21 consecutive seasons.

4. Fewest points in a season (Derby County)

It is probably the worst record to hold.

Derby County, who have endured a shaky EPL history, hold the record for the fewest points garnered in a season.

The Rams could only manage a paltry 11 points during the 2007/08 Premier League season, with the disastrous run having them relegated.

3. Most consecutive seasons as manager (22)

This record could have potentially been held by Sir Alex Ferguson, who spent 27 years with Manchester United.

However, this honour belongs to Arsene Wenger, who managed Arsenal for 22 years.

Well, Wenger beats Fergie to this record because the latter had to wait for six years before we formally had the Premier League in place.

2. Fewest games for a player to score three hat-tricks (8)

This record was set this season by Erling Haaland, who has taken the Premier League by storm since his arrival from Borussia Dortmund.

Haaland needed just eight games to score three hat-tricks.

1. Fewest losses in a season (0)

Arsenal are the proud holders of this record courtesy of Arsene Wenger.

In 2004, the Gunners became the first team to go an entire season without recording a defeat.

To date, that record has not been broken.

Haaland shatters record held by EPL icons

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Manchester City hotshot Erling Haaland has become the first player in the history of the Premier League to score 45 goals across competitions in a single season.

Haaland set the record after he found the back of the net against Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

The striker has been in flawless form since joining City in the summer of 2022 from Borussia Dortmund.
