Erling Haaland is on the verge of breaking a significant Premier League record held by Jamie Vardy. Since the start of the 2025–26 season, Haaland has exhibited remarkable scoring prowess, netting an impressive 24 goals in just 14 appearances for Manchester City and Norway. His recent performance includes a brace against Everton, further solidifying his status as one of the most formidable strikers in football today.
Haaland’s current scoring streak includes goals in six consecutive Premier League matches, bringing him closer to Vardy’s record of scoring in 11 straight games. Vardy set this remarkable benchmark during Leicester City’s unforgettable title-winning campaign in the 2015–16 season. On November 28, 2015, he officially surpassed the previous record of ten consecutive matches held by Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Chasing Vardy’s Record
To reach Vardy’s milestone, Haaland must continue his scoring run in the upcoming five matches against challenging opponents. Manchester City is set to face Aston Villa away, Bournemouth at home, Liverpool at home, Newcastle United away, and Leeds United at home. Following these fixtures, he would need to score against Fulham away on December 2 to match or surpass Vardy’s achievement.
Haaland’s scoring record is nothing short of extraordinary, considering he has only failed to score in one match this season. His consistency has made him a key figure for both club and country, as he continues to break records at every level. The 25-year-old striker previously had a streak of scoring in seven consecutive Premier League games from August to October 2022, but he now stands poised to eclipse that mark.
Next Matches and Challenges
The upcoming fixtures present a formidable challenge for Haaland. Each match will test his skills and ability to maintain his current form against top-tier teams. Manchester City has shown resilience and offensive strength, but the pressure of maintaining a scoring streak adds an additional layer of complexity.
Given Haaland’s impressive track record and Manchester City’s attacking style, fans and analysts alike are optimistic about his chances of reaching this historic milestone. With the spotlight shining brightly on him, Haaland is set to make headlines in the coming weeks as he pursues a record that has stood for nearly a decade.
As the race for the Premier League title intensifies, all eyes will be on Haaland. Should he achieve this goal, it would not only solidify his status as a leading striker but also etch his name in the annals of Premier League history alongside Jamie Vardy.
