With two lightning-fast goals for Newcastle (4–3) against Nottingham, Alexander Isak became the Swedish player who has scored the most goals in Premier League football. Before Sunday's match, he shared the record with Fredrik Ljungberg.

The goals have been produced in 76 league matches, and since Premier League started in 1992–1993, only six players have needed fewer matches to reach 50 goals, reports BBC.

Manchester City's superstar Erling Braut Haaland tops the list by far – the 24-year-old Norwegian reached 50 goals in just 48 matches.

Other players who have reached 50 goals faster than Alexander Isak: Andy Cole/65 matches, Alan Shearer/66 matches, Ruud van Nistelrooy/68 matches, Fernando Torres/72 matches, and Mohamed Salah/72 matches.
