After Manchester City beat West Ham United 3-0, Erling Haaland received a guard of honour from his teammates.
The £51 million (Eurosport) man broke Andy Cole and Alan Shearer’s Premier League goal record of 34 in 42 games by reaching 35 on Wednesday night.
As a result, Erling Haaland, described as ‘unbelievable’ by Gary Neville received a guard of honour from the Manchester City players after making history against West Ham United.

The Norwegian goalscorer, branded as ‘unreal’ by Fabrizio Romano broke the record in style, dinking Lukasz Fabianski in what was a sumptuous finish.
For all the pace and power that the 22-year-old possesses, his technique, especially in front of goal is of the highest order.
After Manchester City beat West Ham to return back to the top of the table, Sky Sports Premier League shared a video where he was receiving a guard of honour.

Make no mistake about it, what the youngster has done in English football during his debut campaign is nothing short of legendary.
Iconic strikers such as Sergio Aguero, Thierry Henry, Harry Kane and Wayne Rooney to name a few have been unable to do what the wonderkid has so in his first season in England.
As Erling Haaland received a guard of honour, it was also a reminder of what a one-of-a-kind goalscorer he truly is.
Considering Pep Guardiola’s side were not even firing on all cylinders for much of this campaign, that further highlights his unique knack for finding the back of the net.
The Premier League is truly witnessing greatness from the young man.
