What Erling Haaland said to Man City teammates after breaking Premier League goalscoring record

Erling Haaland delivered a speech to his Manchester City teammates after breaking the record for the most goals scored in a single Premier League season.

The Norwegian ace scored his 35th top-flight goal of the season for Pep Guardiola's side in City's 3-0 victory over West Ham on Wednesday night. Haaland's second-half strike saw him move ahead of Alan Shearer and Andy Cole, who both scored 34 goals in 42-game seasons in 1994/95 and 1993/94 respectively.

The 22-year-old frontman, who has registered 51 goals in 45 appearances in all competitions, has enjoyed a scintillating debut campaign at the Etihad following his transfer from Borussia Dortmund last summer. Despite his personal success, Haaland was keen to acknowledge the role his teammates have played in his remarkable individual season.
