Erling Haaland broke the Premier League record for goals in a season as Manchester City returned to the top of the table by beating West Ham 3-0.

Haaland's sublime chip over Lukasz Fabianski 20 minutes from time took him on to 35, one clear of Andy Cole and Alan Shearer, whose 34-goal tallies had come in a 42-match campaign.

The Norwegian is now on 51 in all competitions, 12 behind Dixie Dean's all-time English record, with a potential nine games still to play.

Haaland's latest effort helped City to a ninth successive league win - and they now lead Arsenal by a point and have a game in hand.
