Erling Haaland called 'ridiculous' and 'sublime' as he sets more scoring records
Erling Haaland is the third top scorer in the Premier League in 2022, having played in Germany for the first half of the year
And remarkably the £51m summer signing from Borussia Dortmund has already equalled the tally of their top league scorer in the 2021-22 title-winning season - Kevin de Bruyne. Haaland has been directly involved in 42 goals in his last 24 appearances in home games for Dortmund and City . His 11 goals in his first seven games were a record, as were his nine goals in his first five games. Those nine goals made him the top scorer in August of any Premier League season.
He is the youngest player to score 25 goals in the competition, beating the record of Kylian Mbappe, who in turn took the landmark off Lionel Messi. He left Bryne at the age of 16 after no goals in 16 games. At Molde he netted 20 goals in 50 matches and at Salzburg he scored 29 goals - including five hat-tricks - in just 27 games.
Dixie Dean netted 60 goals in 39 First Division games for Everton in 1927-28. Tom Waring is second with 49 goals for Aston Villa in the top flight in 1930-31.
