Pep Guardiola has revealed that the guard of honour given to Erling Haaland by his Manchester City team-mates after the Norwegian broke the single-season Premier League scoring record was planned.
Haaland netted the second of City’s three goals in their 3-0 victory over West Ham at the Etihad Stadium, racing through one-on-one from Jack Grealish’s through ball before effortlessly chipping goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski.
