The monster striker broke the scoring record.
Manchester City defeated West Ham United 3-0 in the 28th round of the English Premier League (PL) in the 2022-23 season held at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England on the 4th (Korean time).
Elling Haaland scored his 35th goal in the Premier League this season in the 25th minute of the second half, breaking the record of 34 goals held by Andy Cole (former Arsenal) and Alan Shearer (Newcastle United). The previous record was 42 matches. Cole scored 34 goals in 40 games and Shearer 42. Haaland shone by setting a new record in just 31 games.
Nathan Ake’s first goal gave Manchester City a 1-0 lead, but Haaland’s second goal gave Manchester City a 2-0 lead. Haaland shook the net by finishing the through pass with a sensational chip shot. After the goal, Manchester City players and manager Pep Guardiola saluted Haaland with the ‘Guard of Honor’. Afterwards, Manchester City won 3-0 with Phil Foden’s key goal in the 40th minute.
In name and reality, it is the best scoring machine in Europe. Haaland stood out with his extraordinary sense of goal from a young age in his teens. During his time at Red Bull Salzburg in Austria, he also made his name known as the team’s main scorer. He also showed his extraordinary destructive power at Borussia Dortmund in Germany. After scoring 86 goals and 23 assists in 89 games, he moved to England.
The monster striker did not need an adjustment period. Since joining Manchester City, Haaland has been reborn as one of the best strikers in the Premier League. He currently leads the league in scoring, 10 goals ahead of Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur). He scored 23 goals with his left foot and six each with his right foot and head. Even Premier League defenders found it difficult to stop Haaland, who was tall and had quick feet. 크크크벳
