The Norwegian striker wrote his name in the history of the English Premier League in the first season.
Erling Haaland continues to have an impressive season in the English Premier League. The Norwegian striker scored another goal in the championship and did what he had never done before – he brought the number of his goals to 35. Thus, the forward surpassed the legendary Andy Cole and Alan Shearer in the number of goals in one season in the Premier League, scoring 34 goals. Moreover, the latter did it when the Premier League played 42 rounds per season, and not 38, as it is today.
The record happened in the postponed match of the 28th round at West Ham. Manchester City, thanks to a goal from the Norwegian, defeated the opponent 3-0.
