Haaland smashes Premier League goal record
Manchester City striker Erling Haaland broke the record for most Premier League goals in a single season on Wednesday as the 22-year-old Norwegian scored his 35th league goal of an incredible debut campaign in England.
Haaland broke the record with a cool chip over the goalkeeper in the 70th minute of City’s 3-0 win against West Ham at the Etihad Stadium. The victory sent the defending EPL champion back to the top of the league and Haaland was given a guard of honor by teammates as he left the field to a standing ovation from fans.
“35 Premier League goals. A big thank you to everyone for the support, nothing happens without you all, we don’t stop here!” he wrote in an Instagram post after the game.
