Welcome to the 22nd edition of The Athletic’s Friday quiz question.
At the end of every week, we’ll serve up a poser from our vault of football conundrums. It won’t be easy (unless you’re really good), but what better way to head into the weekend than giving your soccer-loving brain a bit of exercise? Chuck it in your group chats and see who knows their stuff.
Oh, and there’s no prize, except the quiet satisfaction of a job well done.
So, without any further delay…
Erling Haaland has scored 72 goals in 70 Premier League appearances, which let’s face it, is quite good.
He looks certain to reach 75 faster than any other player in Premier League history. The record is held by Alan Shearer (who has some views on long-range goals you should definitely read). He scored 75 goals in 93 games, but can you name the rest of the top 10?
Check back around 5pm (BST) today for the answer…
