Erling Haaland<\/a> has smashed Alan Shearer’s first goal record in the Premier League<\/a> and could go on to break another.<\/p>\n

Haaland opened the scoring in Manchester City’s 5-3 win at Fulham<\/a> on Tuesday, bringing up his 100th goal in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

The Norway striker has notched 100 goals in 111 appearances, the fastest player to do so, beating Shearer who did it in 124 games.<\/p>\n

Newcastle and England<\/a> legend Shearer holds the record for all-time Premier League goals (260), a tally which 25-year-old Haaland has been tipped for.<\/p>\n

“I know about it,” he told Sky Sports at Craven Cottage. “But I don’t think too much about it…”<\/p>\n

Haaland is the fastest player to 50, and 100, Premier League goals. But he knows the pressure to score will continue.<\/p>\n

Asked if he expected to score in every game, Haaland replied: “I don’t want to say the words, but when you’re a striker for Man City you should be delivering great numbers.<\/p>\n

“That’s my job. People should criticise me if I don’t. That’s normally what people do. In the end, I should deliver.”<\/p>\n

Haaland hadn’t scored for two Premier League games prior to finally claiming the record at Fulham on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

He said about the 100-goal record: “I knew about this. That’s what I tried to do, I try to help the team by scoring goals.<\/p>\n

“That’s my job.<\/p>\n

“Every game is different, and you can’t think of the games [before]. We lost to Newcastle and Bayer Leverkusen<\/a> but now we have won two in a row.<\/p>\n

“It’s a tough schedule, there are many games in the next month.”<\/p>\n
