LONDON (Reuters) - Manchester City striker Erling Haaland claimed another Premier League goal-scoring record but could not extend his side's incredible winning sequence or keep them top as the champions were held to a 1-1 home draw by Liverpool on Saturday.

The 23-year-old Haaland fired City ahead after 27 minutes following a poor clearance from Liverpool keeper Alisson to reach the 50-goal mark in just 48 games -- 17 games fewer than it took previous record holder Andy Cole.
