Manchester ¨C Manchester City¡¯s Erling Haaland continued his incredible debut campaign in England by breaking the record for most goals in a single Premier League season when he scored the second goal of his team¡¯s 3-0 win over West Ham United on Wednesday.
The Norwegian goal-machine scored his 35th goal of the season on a chipped-in finish from a Jack Grealish pass in the 70th minute to take sole possession of the record, which he had shared with Alan Shearer and Andy Cole.
¡°It¡¯s a special night and a special moment,¡± Haaland said. ¡°I¡¯m really happy and proud. I don¡¯t know what else to say. 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.¡±
