Full debut, think he played in the Europa League earlier in the season but as a sub.
In the Championship there is a gap of 16 points between the top side, Burnley and the side in third, Watford. Reading, in 14th, are only 4 points off a Play Off place and there is a gap of just 18 points between Watford and the bottom club, Wigan.
I thought that Faroe Islands story sounded a bit fishy, so I looked it up. Seems it's a local league rule, not something originating from FIFA, and it very rarely happens. But true if you allow for the podcast that issued the tweet having got the story a bit mangled.
Haaland's 25 league goals would have been enough to win the golden boot in over half the Premier League seasons.
He's played one game past the halfway stage.
It's even more remarkable to think that Salah is so far behind - he has just 7 PL goals to date and Firminho, who isn't the penalty taker and hasn't played since 12th November, has the same number.

Charlton are the only team not to concede against them in that period
I'm guessing they played their full first team in the other nine.
He's played one game past the halfway stage.
However it was the first time a player has ever scored 5 goals in a game for PSG.
2 wins and 10 draws so far. Currently drawing at half time today too.
