Nathan Ake heaps praise on Erling Haaland after Man City star breaks Premier League record

Nathan Ake insists Erling Haaland deserves 'everything he gets' after the Manchester City striker broke another major Premier League record in Wednesday's 3-0 win over West Ham United.

Haaland netted the second of City's three goals, breaking forward to latch onto Jack Grealish's pass before dinking a lovely finish over Lukasz Fabianski. It was the Norwegian's 35th goal in the league, taking him past Alan Shearer and Andy Cole as the Premier League's highest-ever one-season goalscorer.

City boss Pep Guardiola was spotted gathering the City players by the tunnel after the final whistle for a guard of honour, for which Haaland was evidently touched. And speaking after the final whistle, Nathan Ake, who opened the scoring on the night, praised the striker for his consistent work behind the scenes.
