Erling Braut Haaland set a new Premier League record of 35 goals in a season as the Manchester City striker took his tally in all competitions this campaign to 51 by scoring against West Ham United Wednesday.
The 22-year old moves beyond the 34 goals scored by Alan Shearer for Blackburn Rovers in 1994/95 and Andy Cole when at Newcastle United a season earlier.
However, Haaland is still some way short of the all-time record for goals in an English top-flight season of 60 set by Everton legend Dixie Dean in 1927/28.
In his first season in English football, Haaland has rewritten the record books as City close in on a potential treble of Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup.
He is the first player in the English top flight to score a half century of goals in all competitions since 1931.
RESULTS
Man City 3 (Ake 50, Haaland 70, Foden 85) West Ham 0
Liverpool 1 (Salah 39-P) Fulham 0
