ERLING HAALAND has broken several Premier League records and equalled another one with his 10th goal of the season against Aston Villa.
The striker, 22, leapt brilliantly to tap home Kevin De Bruyne’s cross to give Manchester City the lead at Villa Park.
That was his 10th Prem goal in just six games – a record only matched by former Coventry City player Mickey Quinn.
But Quinn only managed eight goals in his first five games of the 1992-93 season – Haaland broke that record with nine goals.
And Quinn is not happy his record has been broken after 30 years.
The ex-striker, 60, told the Daily Mail last week: “‘I’m not one of these fellas who says, ‘My record is there to be broken’.

“B****cks! I didn’t want it to be. I’m proud of those records.
“Anyway, he couldn’t score in every one of his first five matches, could he? I did. I also scored 10 from my first six games. He’s got to try to beat that at Aston Villa.
Norwegian raced to the astonishing tally thanks to back-to-back hat-tricks against Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest.
In doing so Haaland broke two more records, including scoring the most amount of goals in August with nine.

He also became the quickest player to net two hat-tricks, doing so in just five games and therefore beating Demba Ba’s previous record of 21 games.
Haaland has scored more Prem goals in August than Harry Kane – yet has played a staggering 21 fewer games than the Tottenham star in the month.
The former Borussia Dormund star was tipped to win the Golden Boot by Wayne Rooney after his Prem debut, while Alan Shearer also predicted Haaland to “score a ton of goals”.
