Erling Haaland bagged a record-breaking 35th Premier League goal of the season as Manchester City went back to the top of the table thanks to a 3-0 win over West Ham at the Etihad last night.
The 22-year-old Norwegian surpassed the record previously held by Alan Shearer and Andy Cole when he netted in between goals by Nathan Ake and Phil Foden, with the treble-chasers now sitting on 79-points, one more than second-placed Arsenal albeit with a game in hand.
"Yeah, it was perfect. It was perfect" 😂
