Prolific striker Erling Haaland scored his 50th goal of the season as Manchester City moved to the top of the Premier League on Sunday. He fired the defending champions ahead from the penalty spot after only three minutes at Fulham. City went on to win 2-1 at Craven Cottage and moved one point ahead of long-time league leader Arsenal, with a game in hand.
Haaland's goal saw him tie Alan Shearer and Andy Cole's joint record of 34 goals in a Premier League campaign. Both of those players reached their totals in 42-game seasons, while Haaland's haul has come in a still unfinished 38-game campaign.
