It’s safe to say that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/erling-haaland" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Erling Haaland</a>‘s first season in the Premier League has been nothing short of historic. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/manchester-city" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Manchester City</a> won their third consecutive <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/premier-league-t45" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Premier League</a> title thanks in large part to his outstanding play; he scored 36 goals in league action.



He surpassed the mark of 34 goals scored by Andy Cole, established in 1994 with Newcastle, and equaled by Alan Shearer, with Blackburn in 1995. No player has ever been able to break Cole’s record despite several tries throughout the years, including Mohamed Salah’s outstanding 32 goals in the 2017-18 season.



Together, Haaland’s staggering 52 goals in 51 total games also make him the only player in Premier League history to score 50 or more times in a single season. He has also helped out on eight goals for the Citizens.



<h2>What did Andy Cole say about Erling Haaland breaking his record?</h2>



After holding the record for so long, Andy Cole had a brutally honest answer to losing it. The former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/manchester-united-t10" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Manchester United</a> striker was asked how it felt to have his record broken after 19 years, to which he said, “I couldn’t give a f***.



“I’m being honest. I am not a*** in any way, shape or form about someone breaking goal-scoring records because records are set to be broken. Now, some people might be p***ed. But people say I must be disappointed. Why? Because someone has scored more goals than me?

“It’s taken 20 years for someone to get that close. Am I going to rock myself to sleep and think, ‘Oh God, someone has broken my record?’ No, I’ll take my hat off to him. I’ll salute him. He’s done it in a team that creates chance after chance. At some stage, your record’s going to be broken”, he said in an interview with the Daily Mail.

Playing in England’s first division is every player’s dream, though only a few get to write history in it.
It may be too soon to tell, but <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/erling-haaland-man-city-salary-how-much-does-he-make-per-hour-day-week-month-and-year-20220614-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Erling Haaland</a> seems to be on pace to leave his mark in the league. The Norwegian star is enjoying a wonderful start to life in his first season at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/teams-who-have-never-won-champions-league-20201203-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Manchester City</a>.
The former Borussia Dortmund striker, who followed in his father Alfie’s footsteps by joining the Sky Blues, has already scored an impressive 26 goals in 22 Premier League games. Therefore, many predict he’ll break the record for most goals in a single campaign.
<h2>Who has the Premier League goal record in a single season?</h2>
Alan Shearer and Andy Cole share the record for most goals scored in a Premier League season (34). While Cole got on the scoresheet 34 times in the 1993-94 campaign for Newcastle, Shearer scored on 34 occasions for Blackburn Rovers the following season.
Haaland is clearly on track to match or break that record, since Man City have 15 games left this season. At 22, the sky seems to be the limit for the prolific Norwegian sensation.
