But Haaland is first expected to race past the total goals recorded by legends and clinical scorers alike, including Cristiano Ronaldo who scored 103 times in the competition for Manchester United.
After notching No. 100 against Fulham at Craven Cottage, Haaland was goalless as City beat Sunderland 3-0. He struck twice away at Crystal Palace on Dec. 14 to extend his tally to 102.
Haaland's two strikes against West Ham on Saturday brought him to 104 in the competition, eclipsing Ronaldo's output of 103 goals.
But Haaland has completed the feat in a remarkable 114 matches, compared to Ronaldo's 236.
But how many goals does he need to catch the other top scorers in Premier League history?
