"A special night and a special moment. I'm really happy and proud." Words and music by Erling Haaland, capable of breaking the record for the most goals in a Premier League season.

The Manchester City Norwegian scored his 35th league goal against West Ham to surpass the previous record of 34 set by Alan Shearer and Andrew Cole. "It's incredible and I'm really happy and I'm also happy for the three points," he told the BBC. In the end, that's what counts and I'm happy.

Haaland had already set a season record of 38 games, beating Mohamed Salah's 32 goals for Liverpool in 2017-18. "Should I celebrate the finish line at home? I am very happy with this record but I don't want to think about it or others. Now I go home, eat something and play video games. I won't say which one unless everyone makes fun of me. This is how I celebrate this finish line".

A passage also on the "guard of honour" that his companions made by hitting him repeatedly to celebrate him: "I thank them for the gesture but they hurt me. They hit me hard on the head and on the back," the center forward said laughing .
