Erling Haaland has 20 Premier League goal in record 14 games, he's a cheat code

Erling Haaland has reached 20 Premier League goals faster than any other player after hitting a brace against Leeds United.

The Manchester City goal machine was set up twice by Jack Grealish against Leeds, his place of birth, in a 3-1 win for the Premier League champions.

It took him to 26 in all competitions in his debut season in England but also saw him break a new Premier League record.

Haaland has struck 20 goals in 14 games, much quicker than the likes of Kevin Phillips, Fernando Torres, Alan Shearer, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Sergio Aguero, Thierry Henry, Diego Costa and Harry Kane.

Phillips was the previous holder having done it in 21 games, while it took Shearer a further eight to get to the milestone.

With the way he is going, it would not be a surprise to see Haaland completely obliterate the record for goals in a single season.

That record belongs to top goalscorer Shearer, who hit 34 goals as Blackburn Rovers won the league in the 1994/95 season.

Shearer did it in 42 games as opposed to 38 and the former England skipper has already expressed fear of Haaland potentially knocking him off his perch.

Haaland did spurn a few clear chances at Elland Road but he scored with either foot and continues to make the Premier League his playground.

In 2022, Haaland has found the net 45 times in 42 games overall and there's no doubt he will be looking to continue that blistering form into 2023.

Next up for Haaland and City is Everton on 31 December at the Etihad Stadium, where Pep Guardiola's side will hope to end the year on a high.

After 15 games City are five points behind leaders Arsenal, who they still need to play home and away in 2023.
