Erling Haaland scored his 100th Premier League goal on Tuesday, becoming the fastest player to reach the milestone in just 111 appearances during Manchester City's match against Fulham at Craven Cottage.

The 25-year-old Norwegian striker opened the scoring in the 17th minute, firing a low left-footed shot past Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno from Jérémy Doku's cutback at the edge of the penalty area. It marked Haaland's 15th league goal of the season and ended a three-game drought since his previous strike against Liverpool on November 9. Earlier in the contest, Haaland had hit the inside of the post after being played through on goal in the sixth minute, but he made no mistake with his second opportunity amid driving rain in west London.

The Manchester City forward also outpaced other Premier League greats, including Harry Kane in 141 games, Sergio Agüero in 147, and Thierry Henry in 160. Mohamed Salah, currently with Liverpool, needed 162 appearances to hit the mark. Haaland is the 35th player to reach a century of top-flight...
