Erling Haaland has become the fastest player to reach 20 goals in the Premier League after scoring a brace in the Man City 3-1 Leeds game. The brace against Leeds was enough for Haaland to set a new record in the English Premier League, becoming the fastest player to reach 20 goals, in just 14 games.
Before Haaland, this record belonged to Kevin Phillips - with 20 goals in 21 games in the 1999/2000 season for Sunderland. Meanwhile, top scorers like Harry Kane needed 40 games to score his 20th goal in the Premier League.
It is also worth noting that the Premier League Golden Boot last season, shared by Salah and Son Heung Min, was at 23 goals. This means that Haaland is only 3 goals behind, while the Premier League has not yet completed half the season. Across all competitions, Haaland now has 26 goals in 20 appearances for Man City since joining in the summer. Manager Pep Guardiola expressed his admiration for Haaland but also pointed out that the Norwegian striker should have scored more goals against Leeds.
Harry Kane became Tottenham's all-time leading scorer after helping the "Roosters" defeat Man City in the 22nd round of the Premier League. The English international broke the record that had been held for 53 years by legend Jimmy Graves, who previously held the record for scoring 266 goals for Tottenham (Harry Kane has now scored his 267th goal).
Harry Kane's goal becomes even more impressive as it is also his 200th goal in the Premier League. And had 17 goals in 2022. However, the 29-year-old captain of the England national team is only the third player to reach the milestone of 200 goals since the Premier League was officially established in 1992. The player with the most goals in the Premier League is the legendary Alan Shearer with 260 goals, followed by former Manchester United star Wayne Rooney with 208 goals.
Ivan Toney, the strong striker of Brentford, scored 33 goals in their promotion campaign to the Premier League. He continued to impress last season with 14 goals, proving to be a force to be reckoned with both in the air and on the ground for any defender. Additionally, he is a reliable penalty taker, making him a valuable asset to his team.
Marcus Rashford is one of the top goalscorers in Premier League 2022 with 14 goals. Hehad a difficult season in 2021-22, managing to score only five goals across all competitions. He is now seeking to regain his form and rekindle his abilities on the pitch. Fortunately, Manchester United's decision to play him as a central striker more often is expected to help him reignite his career and find his scoring touch once again.
Aleksandar Mitrovic, the No.9 striker of Fulham, made history in the Football League last season by scoring an impressive 43 goals. Although his performance at the highest level of football has been subject to scrutiny in the past, the Serbian international remains determined to prove himself and silence any doubters. With his exceptional scoring ability, Mitrovic is poised to make a significant impact for Fulham in the upcoming season.
