Manchester City look close to unstoppable with Pep Guardiola at the helm and Erling Haaland scoring goals at an alarming rate in 2024\/25. The relentless striker will have a host of Premier League records in his sights as he looks to post numbers that dwarf his exceptional debut season in England’s top flight, when he netted 36 times for the title winners.<\/h2>\n
\n
Erling Haaland continues to break records and set a blistering pace as the Premier League\u2019s top scorer.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The prolific Manchester City striker broke the record for the division\u2019s most goals (nine) after four matches with a typically clinical brace against Brentford – as confirmed by\u00a0the Premier League.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
And he is on course to reach new heights and smash more records in a City team who are unlikely to stop creating chances any time soon.<\/p>\n
\n
But what is the record for the most goals in a single Premier League season? And who currently holds that particular record?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The answer, unsurprisingly, is Haaland. He scored 36 goals in the 2022\/23 season, having joined City from Borussia Dortmund.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Frighteningly, the Norway international is still only 24 and will likely have several more years to continue terrorising Premier League defenders.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

‘It’s not normal’ – Guardiola in awe after Haaland scores back-to-back league hat-tricks<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
He will have his own record in his sights after a flurry of goals to kick off the 2024\/25 season, including back-to-back hat-tricks against Ipswich and West Ham.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Andy Cole is next on the list of highest scorers in a single Premier League campaign, netting 34 goals in 1993\/94, though he benefitted from a 42-game season.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Alan Shearer also scored 34 goals a year later for Blackburn on the way to a memorable title win.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Then comes Mohamed Salah, who found the net 32 times for Liverpool in 2017\/18, while Shearer impressively also bagged 31 goals in both the 1993\/94 and 1995\/96 seasons.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Cristiano Ronaldo and Luis Suarez also had 31-goal seasons at Manchester United and Liverpool respectively, and Kevin Phillips, Thierry Henry, Robin van Persie and Harry Kane all hit the 30-goal mark.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

‘It’s difficult to be sharp if you play over 70 games a year’ – Haaland on fixture drain<\/p>\n

\n
Having conquered the Premier League scoring charts, Haaland might also have his eye on some wider records.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Who has scored most goals La Liga?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n
In the top five European Leagues, there have been some remarkable individual seasons. The most notable, of course, was Lionel Messi\u2019s half-century of goals for Barcelona in the 2011\/12 campaign.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
To match that haul, Haaland would need to score at a rate of around 1.3 goals per game, should he play all 38 matches for City this season. It\u2019s not inconceivable given his start, but hitting 50 goals is a big ask for even the most efficient forwards.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Ronaldo, meanwhile, scored 48 goals for Real Madrid in his best La Liga season, while in the Bundesliga Robert Lewandowski racked up 41 goals for Bayern Munich in 2020\/21. That was achieved in just 29 appearances.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The most realistic target for Haaland – should he avoid injury in what is likely to be a long and busy season for City – could well be the 40-goal mark, a milestone that would set him apart from any other player in Premier League history.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
On current form, it would be unwise to bet against the City striker to do just that.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
