Erling Haaland: What Premier League records can Man City star break?

In case you’re not aware, Erling Braut Haaland is a bit good at football.

On Wednesday evening, the Norwegian striker scored a Premier League hat-trick for the second match in a row.

Haaland bagged three goals for Manchester City in the first half of their 6-0 win over Nottingham Forest, to add to his treble against Crystal Palace last weekend.

The 21-year-old sensation is only the sixth player in Premier League history to record back-to-back hat-tricks and is the first player to score nine goals in their first five appearances.

Not bad, eh?

Haaland was born to beat goalkeepers, it’s as simple as that really.

The question on everyone’s lips right now is; how many Premier League scoring records will he break?

Well, Alan Shearer’s haul of 260 goals is a bit far away at this point in time (to say the least), but there are plenty within reach.

Here are 11 Premier League records Haaland can most certainly break in 2022/23…
