Superman, Betman, Spiderman, X-man… and Haalandman. That’s the accurate list of superheroes, as Manchester City’s Erling Haaland adds his name to a list of immortals on Wednesday night by scoring his 35th goal of the EPL season for City’s 3-0 home victory against West Ham United.🚨 THAT’S 35 🎯🤖Erling Haaland has broken the record for most goals in a Premier League season. Machine.#MCIWHU #BBCFootball pic.twitter.com/K006UTRBQd— BBC Sport (@BBCSport) May 3, 2023 With this latest one, the Norwegian mean machine broke the Premier League record for goals scored in a single campaign. Haaland has netted 16 more times across other competitions since the start of the season, and his goal-scoring tally altogether passed 50 goals (51 at the moment).His lovely chip over Fabiansky doubled the Cityzens lead and wrapped up the match in which the reigning champions didn’t shine but put on just enough effort to secure three points.Erling Haaland has broken the Premier League record, with his 35th goal of the season 👏 pic.twitter.com/t9VQ4Jco1D— MailOnline Sport (@MailSport) May 3, 2023 The Hammers proved to be more than a decent rival at the Etihad, as David Moyes’ side demonstrated balance and solid defensive block for the vast part of the game. The only chance in the first half for the hosts came after a one-two between Rodri and Haaland himself. The Spaniard dashed into the box, but his effort ended on the left post.The Cityzens finally found the back of the net early in the second half, as Mahrez launched a perfect cross from the free kick, with Ake left unmarked at the far post to put his team in front.Goal – AKEAssist – MAHREZ Man City 1-0 West Ham (50 mins) pic.twitter.com/jZW6sYWSHW— street reporter (@BrianKitungu) May 3, 2023 Then, as you read, Haaland shone once again, making a superb run into the free space before slotting it above West Ham’s keeper to make history and take his side back to the summit with a point clear of Arsenal and with a game in hand. Foden was there just to put the cherry on top with a late volley that deflected off West Ham’s defence and ended in the back of the net.##EDITORS_CHOICE##Meanwhile, Liverpool went through a lot of pain against Fulham but prevailed thanks to Mo Salah’s first-half winner from the spot. Darwin Nunez was taken down in the rival’s box, and Salah converted it for a 1-0 win. Despite some fierce attacking, the Scousers didn’t create too many promising opportunities to kill the game in the rest of the match. Moreover, the Londoners proved to be die-hard opponents willing to fight for it until the end. Still, it stayed 1-0 as Liverpool keep climbing up and still hoping to clinch that Champions League spot.PREMIER LEAGUE – ROUND 28Postponed matchesWednesdayMan City – West Ham 3-0 (0-0)/Ake 50, Haaland 70, Foden 85/Liverpool – Fulham 1-0 (1-0)/Salah 39 pen/Thursday22:00: (2.10) Brighton (3.60) Man.Utd.
