The machine that is Erling Haaland continues to amaze and set records at a blistering pace.

Haaland scored the 250th goal of his club career in Sunday's clash with Arsenal in the Premier League. At just 24-years-old, he reached the feat quicker than the two that have dominated the greatest player of all time debate: Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Not to mention, his goal stung the hearts of Arsenal fans considering his comments after their previous meeting earlier this season.
