With his latest goal against Brighton on Saturday, Erling Haaland has landed 100 goal involvements in the Premier League. He is the first player to do so in less than 100 appearances, reaching the milestone in just 94 games.

The Norwegian converted a spot-kick in the 11th minute at the Etihad on matchday 29 of the Premier League to fire Manchester City ahead against Brighton.

The goal, which came after Adam Webster's challenge on Omar Marmoush in the box, landed the 24-year-old to 100 goal involvements in the league.

Having reached the milestone in 94 appearances, Erling Haaland is the fastest player to reach the century mark in the history of the English top flight.

Before him, Alan Shearer was the holder of the title, reaching the three-figure mark so in exactly 100 games (79 goals, 21 assists). 

With 84 goals and 16 assists in the Premier League, Haaland is now only 16 goals away from reaching 100 goals in the competition.
