Erling Haaland’s dream debut season for Manchester City became etched in history as the forward broke the all-time Premier League record for goals in a season.
Last month, Haaland broke the league record for a 38-match season when he surpassed Mohamed Salah’s mark of 32 goals from the 2017-18, and on Sunday, the 22-year-old equalled the overall record of 34 goals set during 42-game seasons by Newcastle’s Andy Cole in 1993-94 and Blackburn Rovers’s Alan Shearer in ’94-95.
But Wednesday against West Ham, Haaland became the sole record-holder and added yet another accolade to a hopeful Ballon d’Or campaign. Haaland is also only one hat trick short of Shearer’s record of five hat tricks (during a 42-game campaign) in a single Premier League season.
