Manchester City's Erling Haaland became the fastest player to reach 1OO Premier League goals with his blistering left-footed strike in the I7th minute of a wild 5-4 victory at Fulham on Tuesday.

City winger Jeremy Doku crossed to the big Norwegian who finished with a first-time shot, achieving the feat in III games, 13 fewer than the previous fastest centurion Alan Shearer.

While Shearer still holds the all-time record with 260 goals, the 25-year-old Haaland looks destined to chase it down.

"If you told me when he arrived that he'd score 100 goals in III games, I'd say, 'Are you sure?' The numbers are insane. Today he was unbelievable," City boss Pep Guardiola said.

"It's incredible, impressive. He was outstanding, today he was unbelievable. He made a fantastic goal. Hopefully, he's starving hungry to continue with this club to make more and more goals. I'm happy for him, happy for the team to deliver him this day."

Haaland, whose father Alf-Inge watched from the stands at Craven Cottage, admitted the moment was special.

"Proud moment, IOO club is a huge thing," he said. "To do it this quickly is amazing. I'm proud, I'm happy.

"I've said it many times - a striker for City should score a lot of goals. That's my job, that's what I try to do. And I'm not bad at it! I should have had a hat-trick, I had a few chances. I need to practise."
