Erling Haaland continued to break records in his debut campaign at Manchester City with his goal in the 3-0 win over Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Tuesday.
The 22-year-old scored his 45th goal of the season in all competitions which broke the scoring record by a Premier League player in a single season.

The landmark comes days after Haaland became the third player to reach 30 Premier League goals in a debut season with a brace in City’s 4-1 victory at Southampton on Saturday.
The Norway international surpassed the 44-goal Premier League tally set by former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy and Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah.
Haaland will now have his sights set on Clive Allen’s English top-flight goal record of 49 goals in all competitions.
The City striker is also only two goals behind Salah’s record in a 38-game league season of 32 goals. He could also surpass Andrew Cole and Alan Shearer’s record of scoring 34 goals in a single league season.
Pep Guardiola’s side face relegation-threatened Leicester City on Saturday before a trip to Germany for their Champions League quarterfinal second-leg tie at Bayern.
