In the 11th minute, Marmouche made the point and Haarland scored a penalty to give Manchester City a 1-0 lead. With this goal, Haaland became the fastest player to score 100 goals in Premier League history.

In addition, Haaland’s performance at home in the Premier League has been terrifying. He has scored 48 goals in 47 games at home in the Premier League, averaging more than one goal per game, a breathtaking efficiency.
Haaland has scored 29 goals and four assists in 39 games for City in all competitions so far this season. His performance has thrilled not only City fans but the entire Premier League. Haaland’s future is certainly full of possibilities and he will continue to write his own Premier League legend.
