It was like a 4th playerCriticized as 'Monster Striker" set a new 100 goals record for the shortest game in the English Premier League (EPL).

Manchester City goaltender Elling Holan started against Fulham in the 14th round of the EPL in the 2025-2026 season at Craven Cottage in London on the 3rd (Korea time) and built his 100th goal of the individual tournament.

He took over Jeremy Doku's cross in the 17th minute of the first half and scored the first goal by inserting the ball into the top of the goal with a left-footed shot from the center of the penalty area.




Holan, who scored his 15th goal in 14 EPL matches this season, increased his total score to 100. Holan, who moved to Manchester City from Borussia Dortmund in Germany in June 2022, has scored 100 goals in just three years and four months and 111 games.

This is a new record, 13 games ahead of the 124 games held by Alan Shearer (260 goals), who has almost all the goals-related records in the EPL. Shearer set a record in December 1995, about three years and four months after the EPL was launched in August 1992.

Former Son Heung-min teammate Harry Kane (current Bayern Munich) played 141 games, former Manchester City goaltender Sergio Aguero played 147 games, and Thierry Henry played 160 games.




Former Tottenham captain Son Heung-min (LAFC) took the EPL stage by joining Tottenham in 2015 and surpassed his 100th goal for the 17th time in history through the match against Brighton in April 2023, more than seven years later. Son Heung-min, who reached the top of 100 goals in his 260th appearance, played from 2024 to 2025 and scored 127 goals.

If Holan, a 35th member of the 100th club, does not leave the league and maintains his current scoring pace (one goal per 93 minutes), it is highly likely to break the record of EPL seniors, including Son Heung-min. Cristiano Ronaldo (Al-Nasr, 103 goals), who shines '5 Ballon' within this year, is expected to break lightly.

Holan, a left-footed man, made 71 goals with his left foot, more than 70% of his 100 goals, while he scored 17 and 11 goals with his header and right foot, respectively. Hwang Hee-chan scored the most 10 goals against Wolverhampton, followed by West Ham (9 goals), Manchester United (8 goals), Fulham (7 goals), Crystal Palace, Everton (six goals above), Arsenal and Nottingham Forest (five goals above). Holan is the only player in the stadium he has played in person so far and has not scored a goal only in Anfield, Liverpool's home stadium.




Holan, who scored his 100th goal early on, led his team to a 5-4 victory with a one-man show against Fulham.

In the 37th minute, Holan assisted midfielder Tijani Rheinders for an extra goal. Phil Foden's additional goal helped Foden's multi-goal in the third minute of the second half when his team led 3-1. Manchester City, which scored 5-1 with an opponent's own goal in the 9th minute of the second half, faced a chase crisis by dedicating relay goals to Alex Iwobi in the 12th minute of the second half and Samuel Chukueze (two goals) in the 27th and 33rd minutes of the second half, but held on without losing a point in the remaining 12 minutes and gained three valuable points.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said `Holan must be one of the best players in the world. The striker eventually has to speak in numbers, not to mention Holan's numbers. I'm happy to be with Holan, and I'm happy to be with the team that provided Holan with this day."

Pep Guardiola's team, which won two consecutive games, remained in second place with nine wins, one draw and four losses and 28 points. He trailed Arsenal (30 points), the leader who played one less game, with two points.
