Erling's Haal of goal-scoring records is huge!

Haaland put a recent two-and-a half game goal 'drought' behind him against Tottenham this week, and his hat-trick against Wolves dispelled the theory that Manchester City play better without him.

Haaland set another two impressive records with his Wolves treble, taking him to 18 notable statistics that have shattered the previous holders' tallies. With a higher number of goals than the last three Golden Boot winners, Haaland is on track to secure the top scorer award in his first season by establishing a huge new total in the Premier League.

Pep Guardiola predicted early in the season that Haaland will break Mo Salah's record of 32 goals in a season - although even he couldn't have expected how quickly his new number nine would chase down that record.

He currently has 25 goals in just 19 Premier League appearances, with eight needed in the last 18 fixtures to make history.

With 187 goals from 242 appearances for club and country so far in his career, Kevin De Bruyne has said the 22-year-old could surpass 800 career goals if he keeps up his current rate.

Given his electric start to life at City, there is clearly no limit to Haaland's potential record-breaking, and we have listed all the records he has broken so far in his 26-game career at the Etihad:

Most goals in first five Premier League appearances - 9

A debut double against West Ham was followed by a goal against Newcastle and back-to-back hat-tricks against Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest. Haaland even had time to blank against Bournemouth, taking his tally to nine goals from his first five Premier League appearances - setting his first record in the process.

Most Premier League goals in August - 9

Those five goals were all scored before the end of August, making Haaland the most prolific player in the month in Premier League history.
