(Reuters) - Manchester City striker Erling Haaland broke the record for most goals scored in a single Premier League season on Wednesday when he netted in the 3-0 win at home to West Ham United to take his tally up to 35 with five games left in the season.

Haaland had equalled Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah's goal-scoring record of 32 in a 38-game season earlier this month when he scored twice against Leicester City.
