Erling Haaland becomes the first player to score two Premier League hat-tricks in the same August.

He is going to need a Haaland facts thread by Christmas 

Yeah can't be on this one, they'll all sound very true.

Cafc43v3r

Haaland is just one Premier League hat-trick away from matching his total number of hat-tricks in the Bundesliga.

That one doesn't actually sound true. 

JoshAddick

Haaland is already 27% of the way to the Premier League goal record and it’s the first month of the season.

Cafc43v3r

If he carries on at this rate he will beat Shearers record before the 2026 World Cup.

They are two points off the play offs and only scored twice!

Only need one goal to win a game of Football

This needs fact checking but it could well be true.

Carvalho scored on Saturday as a teenager and today as 20 something.  Is he oldest teenager and youngest 20 something goal scorer in premier league history? 

Cafc43v3r

Erling Haaland has now scored as many PL goals as Andriy Shevchenko

JoshAddick

Haaland already has 186 goals at the age of 22. He could score 40 goals every season for the next 15 seasons, and still have less goals than Ronaldo.

Doesn't answer your question but I know Saka scored on his 20th birthday so would beat Carvalho by a day or two. However his goal was for England.

The Blackfield & Langley keeper was sent off in today's cup tie against Shepton Mallet for urinating in a hedge.  

Cafc43v3r

Haaland has scored the second most premier league goals from inside the six yard box since the start of LAST season.

Addick Addict

Continuing with the Preston theme, they have had 61 shots this season at home but have yet to score. One would think that a Manager in the form of Ryan Lowe (just 212 career goals) might be able to show his players how to score!

Addick Addict

In tonight's Women's WC qualifier between Latvia (7 shots on target) and N Ireland (2 shots on target) the final score was 1-3. Neither of N. Ireland's shots on target resulted in goals. 

Cafc43v3r

Only 31 players have scored more champions league goals than Haaland.  He has played 20 games.

Poor defending but, on Tuesday night's evidence, should be required viewing for all Charlton midfielders, especially CBT.

Since April 3, Wolves have scored four Premier League goals at Molineux. Manchester City have scored eight.

Today's match was also the first time 10 players from the same country, that isn't England, started a match for the first time.

Ethan Nwaneri became the youngest player in Premier League history today, appearing for Arsenal @ 15-years old.
