Erling Haaland removes Man Utd and Liverpool icons from history books with latest record

Erling Haaland has become the first ever Premier League player to score 45 goals in all competitions during a single season.

Haaland achieved the remarkable feat by scoring in Manchester City's 3-0 victory against Bayern Munich at the Etihad on Tuesday night. Pep Guardiola's side will take a big lead to Bavaria for the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie next week.

Haaland's latest goal means he's now scored one more than Mohamed Salah did for Liverpool during the 2017/18 campaign. He has also overshadowed Manchester United hero Ruud van Nistelrooy, who matched Salah's tally of 44 goals during the 2002/03 season.
