- Manchester City – West Ham 3-0
Manchester (Dagbladet): The English tabloids hailed Erling Braut Haaland as per all the rules of art when they took to the streets last night.
Last night he scored the 35th goal in the Premier League. No one has ever done that in the same season.
– broke the record, writes today’s Manchester Evening News.
– I’m proud. But the honor guard was really painful. “Everyone was hitting me in the back,” Haaland told Sky Sports.
Reactions were strong last night after the 3-0 win over West Ham, with the Norwegian scoring the second goal. “He’s making fun of Dorina,” was the tone of the review.
But the reactions are stronger because the experts hardly understand what is happening.
I never thought he would score so many goals. You guessed 20-25, says The Times journalist Paul Hirst in the catacombs of Etihad Stadium.
– This exceeds all expectations, including those of Pep Guardiola.
Haaland has now scored 51 goals in all competitions.
– I thought he would score a lot. But it would be wrong to say I thought he would score 50-60, Daily Mirror commentator John Cross tells Dagbladet.
– He is powerful, fast, powerful and dynamic. He looks like a giant compared to some Defenders. They don’t have a chance. It’s like 12 year olds playing against a man. Sometimes it’s embarrassing and ridiculous.
The City players were clearly poised for a record-breaking feat yesterday and were quickly lined up in the Guard of Honor. Haaland shared the old record of 34 goals with Andy Cole and Alan Shearer in just a few days.
– I don’t know what to say, but I’m very happy. Thank you guys very much, Haaland said when he gave a little speech in the dressing room.

He didn’t come out in the press area for reporters who were waiting last night Norwegian time. There’s already talk of the “most impossible records” of all time. It features Dixie Dean, set in the 1927-1928 season. Then the Everton player scored 63 goals in all competitions.
Haaland 12 goals remaining. About Dean’s record, he told Sky Sports:
No, I’m not thinking about that now. I will sleep in this game and wake up tomorrow. Then I’ll think about how we’re going to try to get three points against Leeds.
continued:
– It won’t be easy with a new manager (Sam Allardyce, reporter’s note), but I can’t think of records. I’m crazy thinking about it.
The attempted attack on the city last night is a gross exaggeration.
– I want to go home and play some video games, eat and sleep. That’s what I’ll do. Tomorrow we have to start thinking about Leeds. This is my life.
Disclosure on TV: – Embarrassing
When asked what video games he would play, Haaland replied:
– I can’t say that. It’s so embarrassing.
Sky Sports wonder if he will trade the record for The Treble. That’s why he says:
– Yes, this is the most important thing.
City can win the Premier League, the FA Cup and the Champions League.
– Everyone knows that it is possible. But we can’t think of the FA Cup final against Manchester United now. We play against Leeds in three days.
Chaos
The Norwegian giant points out the importance of focus.
Our last nine matches are all finals.
Coach Pep Guardiola is full of praise.
– amazing. Erling is an amazing, unique and special person. deserved a guard of honor. It’s an amazing teacher,” says the president of Etihad Airways.
The match against Leeds takes place on Saturday at 16:00.
