Haaland historisk – slog målrekord i Premier League

Norske Erling Braut Haaland har skrivit fotbollshistoria. På onsdagen blev han den förste spelaren att göra 35 mål under en säsong i Premier League, skriver flera medier.

Enligt norska Dagbladet bröt extas ut i publiken när Haaland satte 2–0 för sitt Manchester City mot West Ham på onsdagen.

– Det går inte att tro, säger Viaplay-kommentatorn Kasper Wikestad.

Det tog 22-åringen totalt 31 matcher att jobba sig upp till rekordet, som slogs under hans första säsong i Premier League.
