Haaland's Season Tally
The Borussia Dortmund striker has already scored 30 goals in the top-flight this season, a feat that hasn't been achieved since Mohamed Salah and Harry Kane both did it five years ago. Haaland has scored 15 goals in other competitions, including the Champions League, the FA Cup, and the Carabao Cup.
European Scoring Record
Haaland's scoring achievements have also seen him break records in Europe. With his goal against Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Tuesday, he took his tally to 34 goals in just 26 games. This places him among the top 20 scorers in the competition's history, alongside the likes of Edinson Cavani and Fernando Morientes.
Potential Record-Breaking Season
With a maximum of 15 games remaining for Manchester City this season, Haaland could potentially break several more records. If he continues his current scoring rate and plays in every game, he could reach an astonishing 62 goals. This would bring him within one goal of Dixie Dean's all-time record of 63 in the 1927-28 season.
Targets Within Reach
Haaland is also closing in on several Premier League scoring records. He is just two goals away from Salah's record for a 38-game season and needs four more to match the overall record set by Andy Cole and Alan Shearer in the early 42-game campaigns of the Premier League era.
Conclusion
Erling Haaland's scoring form this season has been impressive. He has already broken several records and could potentially break several more before the end of the season. It will be interesting to see how he continues to perform and whether he can surpass Dixie Dean's long-standing record.
