Erling Haaland's incredible season continued on the evening of April 30 as Manchester City took on Fulham. The Premier League champions were awarded a penalty within the opening minutes of the match after a foul by Tim Ream, and Haaland stepped up to take the spot-kick. The Norwegian striker calmly placed the ball in the far corner, beating Bernd Leno to score his 34th Premier League goal of the season.
With this goal, Haaland etched his name in the history books, becoming the top scorer in a single Premier League season, alongside Alan Shearer and Andy Cole. It's worth noting that Shearer and Cole achieved this feat when the Premier League still consisted of 42 rounds, while Haaland has done it in a 38-round format.
But Haaland's season isn't done yet, as he also reached the milestone of 50 goals in all competitions, a feat no other Premier League player has accomplished in a single season. His scoring prowess has been a major factor in Manchester City's success this season, as they chase a historic quadruple.
Despite their strong start, Manchester City were surprisingly pegged back by Fulham, who equalized in the 15th minute thanks to a goal from Carlos Vinicius. Harry Wilson provided the assist for the Brazilian striker, who beat Ederson from close range to level the score. Nevertheless, Haaland's record-breaking season continued to be a bright spot for the Cityzens.
