In his first campaign in the Premier, Haaland has pulverized all scoring records and still has five games to go to frame a historic figure.

To his 35 goals in the Premier we must add the 12 he has in the Champions League, in which he could still play three more games, three in the FA Cup, in which he will play the final against Manchester United, and one in the League Cup.

On the horizon, Haaland still has several records to compete for this season, such as Cristiano Ronaldo’s 17 goals in the same ‘Champions’, or the five ‘hat tricks’ he scored in Premier Alan Shearer in 1995.

Triumph worked

Pep Guardiola’s team had to work on their victory against a West Ham fighting for permanence. A goal from Nathan Ake at the beginning of the second half opened the can for a City that again pulled the Haaland machine, history of the Premier with only 31 games played, to consolidate the lead after the victory on Tuesday of an Arsenal that rushes your options.
