Wednesday night’s match against West Ham will always go down as a special one for Man City striker, Erling Haaland.
The Norwegian, who began his 2022/23 Premier League campaign with two goals in August against the Hammers, scored a record-breaking 35th against the same opponent as City marched back to the top of the table with a 3-0 victory.
Haaland’s goal took him one clear of previous joint record holders, Alan Shearer and Andrew Cole, and speaking with Sky Sports after the game, Haaland acknowledged that it was a ‘special moment’ for him.
'Special moment, what more is there to say?' ?
