Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has reached yet another milestone, recording 100 Premier League goal contributions (goals + assists) in just 84 games. The Norwegian achieved the feat during City’s 2-2 draw with Brighton, surpassing the previous record set by Alan Shearer, who took 100 matches to hit the mark.
Haaland’s Record-Breaking Start
Since joining City from Borussia Dortmund in 2022 for £51.2m, Haaland has been a goal machine, racking up an incredible 84 goals and 16 assists in the English top flight.
He and Shearer are the only players to have reached 100 goal contributions in their third Premier League season. Other legendary names like Sergio Agüero, Thierry Henry, and Mohamed Salah needed at least four or more seasons.
A Dependence on Goals?
Haaland’s assist numbers remain low, with only 16 assists in 100 contributions. Only Harry Kane (13 assists) had fewer at this stage, while Eric Cantona led the pack with 42 assists in his first 100 goal contributions.
Has the Goalscoring Machine Slowed Down?
Despite another impressive season, Haaland’s numbers have dipped slightly compared to his explosive debut year:
• 2022/23: A goal or assist every 63 minutes
• 2023/24: Every 80 minutes
• 2024/25: Every 103 minutes
His 20 goals in 27 league games this season leave him trailing Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, who leads the Golden Boot race with 27 goal contributions (17 assists, 20 goals).
