Premier League champions Manchester City could only manage a 2-2 Premier League draw with Brighton & Hove Albion FC on Saturday (Mar 15), dropping points in a blow to their hopes of playing European football next season. Erling Haaland and Omar Marmoush struck for Pep Guardiola's team, but Brighton equalised with a second-half own goal by City defender Abdukodir Khusanov after Pervis Estupinan had scored the visitors' first. The draw which felt like a defeat kept City provisionally fifth in the table on 48 points after 29 games. Brighton are a point behind in seventh.
The records may have slowed down as his goalscoring enters more human levels, but Erling Haaland reached another landmark in Manchester City's 2-2 draw with Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday (Mar 15).
His penalty meant he reached 100 Premier League goal contributions (goals and assists combined) in just his 94th game.
The previous record-holder was Alan Shearer, who took 100 matches to reach that level.
Haaland, who joined Manchester City from Borussia Dortmund in June 2022, and Shearer, are the only players who reached the figure in their third season in the Premier League.
Shearer had played a few seasons in the old First Division that do not count towards this record.
Sergio Aguero, Thierry Henry, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, Les Ferdinand and Matt le Tissier all managed it in their fourth seasons.
Eric Cantona, Mohamed Salah (including two with Chelsea) and Andy Cole took into their fifth campaign – with Harry Kane in his sixth – including the first season he only played once in.
