It was goal number 100 for Haaland on Tuesday, but goals 101 and 102 could have come just as easily.
He hit the post in both halves during a strong attacking display as he also chipped in with two assists.
Haaland leads the top flight’s scoring charts, having netted 15 times so far this season, with Brentford’s Igor Thiago the nearest challenger with 11 for the Bees.
Since joining from Borussia Dortmund in 2022, Haaland has chalked up a string of feats, and to beat Shearer’s long-standing record by reaching 100 goals in only 111 games ranks highly on his list of achievements.
Shearer took 124 games to reach that mark, but Haaland has a long way to go if he is to match the former England captain’s total of 260 goals in the competition that launched in 1992-93 after breaking away from the English Football League.
Haaland performed a ‘robot’ celebration earlier this season, and City’s reliance on their goal machine is highlighted by the fact that he has scored 15 of his side’s 32 league goals this term.
“Congratulations, it is incredible,” Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola said of Haaland’s achievement.
“What can I say? Today he was outstanding. He was unbelievable and got a fantastic goal.
“Enjoy it, hopefully he is hungry to continue getting goals for this club.”
