5 Premier League Goals Erling Haaland Could Break After Bright Start to Life at Man City

• Erling Haaland has taken the Premier League by storm since his arrival earlier in the summer from Borussia Dortmund
• The Norwegian has shown flashes of brilliance in front of goal, having already netted nine times in five outings
• The Man City attacker also has two hat-tricks to his name, with the latest coming on Wednesday night against Nottingham Forest

Erling Haaland has a golden chance of shuttering five incredible Premier League records following his blistering start to life in the English top-flight.

The Norway international sealed a sensational transfer to the EPL from Borussia Dortmund earlier in the summer, with Manchester City forking out £85.5m, including agents fees and other add-ons, to acquire his services.

Haaland has not wasted time proving his worthiness with the 21-year-old firing from all cylinders every time he has made his way to the pitch.

The ex-Dortmund ace bagged his second hat-trick of the season on Wednesday night to take his tally to nine goals in just five matches.

His heroics saw him break a long-standing Premier League record initially held by Sergio Aguero and Mick Quinn.

According to OptaJoe, until Haaland, no other player has amassed that amount of goals in such a short time.

Here are five other Premier League records Haaland can break this season:

1. Most goals in a 38-game season

Liverpool ace Mohamed Salah is the current holder of the most goals in a 38-game season.

Salah set the record during the 2017/18 season when he scored 32 goals.

2. Fastest player to 20 goals

This is another record that Salah holds.

The Egyptian set it in 2017/18 when he scored 20 goals in 25 games.

Haaland now has just 11 goals to go going by his current tally.

3. Most goals scored in a debut season | 30 goals (Kevin Phillips at Sunderland - 1999/00)

4. Most hat-tricks in a season | 5 (Alan Shearer, 1995/96)

Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer holds the record for most hat-tricks in a single season.

Shearer set the record during the 1995/96 season when he bagged five of them.

Haaland already has two to his name and needs just three more to match Shearer's record.

5. Most goals in a game

The most goals scored in a single Premier League game is five.

The record is held by a number of players, including Andy Cole, Alan Shearer, Jermain Defoe, Dimitar Berbatov, and Sergio Aguero.

But by Haaland's goalscoring prowess, he will no doubt be looking to match or smash this record.
