Erling Holland (Reuters)
Erling Holland’s debut season in the Premier League continues to break records. The Norwegian striker scored a hat-trick against Wolves today (Sunday) and reached 25 league goals this season. Already in the 21st season, Holland overtook the number of goals scored by Mohamed Salah and Young Min Son last season, in which they shared the top scorer title with 23 goals.
In each of the previous four seasons, 25 goals (and even 23) were enough for a striker to finish as the top scorer and he is taking giant steps closer to the 32 goals set by Mohamed Salah in his debut season in the Kingdom (2017/18), when he has already scored more than 14 top scorers in the league Since 1992.
By the way, this is the fourth time this season that Holland has scored a hat-trick in the Premier League and we will mention again that this is his debut season in the league. Just to break the ear, Cristiano Ronaldo, who has 236 Premier League appearances, has scored three hat-tricks, while the Norwegian overtook him as he made his 19th appearance in the league today. He is of course the fastest to reach four hat-tricks in the English league and broke the record of Rod van Nistelrooy, who did it in no less than 65 games.
10 teams in the league scored less than the Netherlands this season. Aston Villa (23), Chelsea (22), Bournemouth (19), Leicester and Crystal Palace (18), West Ham and Southampton (17), Nottingham Forest (16), Everton (15) and Wolves (12) .
