Erling Haaland will have to wait at least another another few days to join the Premier League 100 club after he was kept off the score sheet in Manchester City 's 3-2 victory over Leeds United on Saturday.

It would have been a little poetic had Haaland netted his 100th goal against Leeds -- the city of his birth midway through his father, Ale Inge Haaland's, three-year spell at the Yorkshire club.
He still has plenty of breathing room to break Shearer's record, although he has some way to go to clinch his ultimate scoring title: Shearer is still the league's
