Erling Haaland of Manchester City has continued to rewrite the record books in the Premier League with his latest achievement, marking another milestone in his already illustrious career.
In Manchester City's 2-1 victory over Brentford, Haaland scored twice, narrowly missing out on a hat-trick. Despite this, his performance was enough to set a new Premier League record. Haaland has now surpassed Wayne Rooney’s long-standing record of eight goals in the first four games of a Premier League season. Rooney had held this record for 13 years, dating back to Manchester United’s 2011-12 campaign.
With a remarkable tally of nine goals in just four matches, Haaland has established himself as the fastest starter in Premier League history. His exceptional early-season form includes a hat-trick against West Ham United and another against Ipswich, setting a new record for the most goals scored in the first three games of a Premier League season.
Haaland’s continuous scoring prowess and ability to break records highlight his extraordinary talent and further solidify his position as one of the Premier League’s most prolific strikers.
