Erling Haaland has the same number of goals for a season in the league as Liverpool’s striker Mohamed Salah who did it in Premier League’s 17-18 season.

Man. City will play 8 more matches until the end of the season, and Erling only needs one more goal to be alone at the top.

Andy Cole with Newcastle (93-94) and Alan Shearer with Blackburn (94-95) each scored 34 goals in Premier League but in a 42-match season – 4 more than the current format.

The Norwegian forward netted the record goal in the 25^th minute against the Foxes at Etihad Stadium. However, Haaland was substituted at halftime and did not have a chance to score a hattrick and break Salah’s record of 42 goals against Leicester.
