Another Day, Another Premier League Record For Erling Haaland
Erling Haaland set another Premier League record by scoring Manchester City's opening goal against Everton on New Year's Eve.
It was Haaland's 21st Premier League goal for City, coming in only his 15th appearance in the competition.
By firing past Jordan Pickford in the 24th minute, Haaland became the first ever player to score at least 21 goals before the turn of the year in a single Premier League season.
Haaland's achievement was extra impressive because this period in the 2022/23 season had included fewer games than usual, due to a six-week break for the World Cup.
Just three days earlier, Haaland had become the fastest player to score 20 goals in the Premier League, doing so in his first 14 appearances.
Haaland's 21st goal of the EPL season was not enough to earn City three points against Everton.
The Toffees left the Etihad Stadium with a 1-1 draw after Demarai Gray equalized with a brilliant solo strike on 64 minutes.
