Manchester City striker, Erling Haaland broke a long-standing Premier League record, as they defeated West Ham 3-0 on Wednesday night.
The first half at the Etihad had ended goalless.
Nathan Ake headed in Riyad Mahrez’s free-kick four minutes after the break to give the champions the lead.
In the 70th minute, Haaland ran onto Jack Grealish’s pass and lifted the ball over Lukasz Fabianski to make it 2-0.
