Alan Shearer reckons that Erling Haaland could score a mind-boggling 60 goals this season after taking his tally to 42 during Manchester City's 6-0 demolition of Burnley.
Haaland hit a hat-trick as City romped to victory in Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final clash, his sixth treble of the campaign and second in the space of five days. Having scored a whopping five goals on Tuesday as the Citizens beat RB Leipzig 7-0 in the Champions League, and continuing in the same vein at the weekend, legendary English striker Shearer has tipped the 22-year-old sensation to keep banging in the goals between now and June.
"He lives for goals," an astounded Shearer, who remains the Premier League's all-time record goalscorer, told BBC Sport post-match. "Some players might say, 'I wanna get 20 goals a season'. He wants 30, 40, 50, - he might even get 60 goals this season. I mean, it's bonkers. As I said, some are happy with that [20], some are not.
