Alan Shearer's Erling Haaland goal record admission after Man City beat Arsenal

Alan Shearer has no doubt Erling Haaland will beat his record for the most goals in a Premier League campaign this season.

The legendary striker made the admission following City's 3-1 victory over Arsenal on Wednesday which took the Blues to the top of the table. Kevin De Bruyne opened the scoring with a stunning finish after a sloppy mistake but the Gunners equalised through a Bukayo Saka penalty.

But City took the lead again after Jack Grealish finished off a scintillating move before Haaland grabbed his customary goal to seal the points with a potent finish into the far corner. It takes the Norwegian sensation's tally for the season up to 32 in all competitions with 26 of those coming in the league.
