Mohamed Salah reached 100 Premier League goals on Sunday when Liverpool hammered Leeds United at Elland Road, but it had fans about who is the fastest player to reach 100 goals in Premier League? Here, we give you the answer to that question.
Is it Michael Owen? Robbie Fowler? Harry Kane? You have the answer below.
Who is the fastest player to reach 100 goals in Premier League?- Salah joins Premier League 100 club
Unfortunately for Mo Salah fans, Liverpool fans, and Egypt fans, the answer is not the 29-year-old winger. Alan Shearer is the fastest player to reach 100 goals in Premier League. He reached that milestone in just 124 games, doing so for Newcastle United and still holds that record to date, which is an amazing feat by the lethal goalscorer from England.
The second on that list is Tottenham Hotspur’s very own, Harry Kane. The Englishman reached 100 goals in 141 games, doing so for Spurs. Salah is a little far behind on that list considering he has taken 162 Premier League games to reach that amount. However, that number is inflated by his unfortunate time under Jose Mourinho at Chelsea 8 years back.
Who is the fastest Liverpool player to reach 100 Premier League goals? – Sadio Mane Premier League goals
The question now arises who is the fastest Liverpool player to reach 100 goals for Liverpool. Mohamed Salah has that record out of his grasp too as he has taken 149 Premier League games to score 98 goals for Liverpool. Robbie Fowler achieved that record in the 149th game himself when he netted against Manchester United.
Sadio Mane currently has 97 Premier League goals in 233 games for Southampton for Liverpool. He also currently has 99 goals in all competitions for the Reds and can reach that tally against AC Milan this week in the UEFA Champions League. However, with his considerably slower scoring rate, he is not really up for the competition of being the fastest Liverpool player to reach 100 Premier League goals.
