    In doing so, the Norwegian scored his 75th Premier League goal in just 77 games.

    What made Haaland’s feat even more remarkable is the fact he reached the 75-goal mark in 16 games fewer than what previous record holder Alan Shearer managed.

    The Premier League’s all-time leading goalscorer racked up his 75th goal in March 1995 thanks to a double in Blackburn’s 3-1 home win over Arsenal.
