The record had previously been shared by Ruud van Nistelrooy and Mohamed Salah.

Dutch striker Van Nistelrooy scored 44 goals in 52 appearances for Manchester United during the 2002/03 campaign.

Egyptian forward Salah then equaled that record with 44 goals in 52 games for Liverpool in the 2017/18 season.

Haaland's first 45 goals of the current campaign have come in his first 39 matches for City.
