The Manchester City striker Erling Haaland scored the opener against Fulham on matchday 14, a goal that carried far more weight than simply putting his team ahead.

It made him the fastest player ever to reach 100 Premier League goal.

Haaland hit the century in 111 match obliterating the previous record held by England legend Alan Shearer who needed 124 game to reach the same mark.
