Manchester City's Erling Haaland continued his incredible debut campaign in England as he broke the record for most goals in a single Premier League season on Wednesday when he struck his side's second against West Ham United.
The Norwegian goal-machine's chipped finish from a Jack Grealish pass in the 70th minute took him to 35, past the record he had shared with Alan Shearer and Andy Cole.
“I knew about the record, of course, but we tried to create chances to score and it wasn't easy because they wanted to defend. We struggled in the first half but they eventually came.” His dad Alfie Haaland, who also played for City, watched from one of the boxes with a wide smile and accepted congratulatory handshakes from everyone around him.“All the team deserved it, because without the team he couldn't do it, but he's a special striker.
Haaland addressed the team in the dressing room, telling them “I don't know what more to say but thank you guys so much”.“I spoke with Jack before the game and he said he wanted to do the assist for the record-breaking goal,” Haaland said. “It was a perfect bounce, I didn't think to chip but the opportunity was there so I did it.”
