The hat trick against Wolverhampton took Halaand past a record long held by Nistelrooy – and he became the player to score 4 premier league hattricks in the shortest period of time.What Ruud took 65 games to do Erling did in 19. Talk about being a goal machine.

And here’s a breakup which clubs were at the receiving end of his goal scoring prowess this season.

What other records lie ahead ?

Another 7 goals and he will beat Salah’s record of 32 goals in a season.

9 goals and he will break a record held by Andy Cole and Alan Shearer of 34 goals in a season.

However he was not able to score against Man Utd in the Derby and that’s one feather that has eluded his much feathered cap.
