His 34th goal of the campaign moved Haaland level with the totals of Alan Shearer and Andrew Cole, set across a 42-match season, in 1993/94 and 1994/95 respectively.

Impressively, Haaland reached the 34-goal mark in only his 30th appearance, with Cole taking 40 matches and Shearer 42.

The Norwegian has already surpassed the previous record of 32 goals scored in a 38-match season, which was set by Mohamed Salah during his maiden season for Liverpool in 2017/18.

It was Haaland's 50th in all competitions this season, with only Dixie Dean, netting 63 times for Everton in 1927/28, scoring more while in the top division of English football across a single campaign.
