The 22-year-old Norwegian striker joined England’s Alan Shearer and Andy Cole, joint record holders, in opening the scoring from a third-minute penalty at Craven Cottage. Cole and Shearer had 34 goals, respectively in the colors of Newcastle in 1993-1994 and Blackburn in 1994-1995.
The record at 60 goals
The absolute record for goals scored during a season in the English Championship is held by the Englishman Dixie Dean, author of 60 goals in 1927-1928 in the jersey of Everton. Haaland, who reached that figure in 30 appearances, took his tally to 50 goals this season in all competitions.
