Manchester City forward Erling Haaland made a significant contribution to the defeat of London's West Ham in the 17th round of the English Premier League. The striker scored 19 goals before Christmas and became one of the three legendary players in the league, reports Opta Sports.

It is noted that the Norwegian repeated the best performance in history. Previously, this was achieved by English strikers Andy Cole (1993/94 season) and Kevin Phillips (1999/2000), as well as Uruguayan Luis Suarez (2013/14).

At the same time, the City forward was ahead of Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo in the table of all-time Premier League scorers. Haaland now has 104 goals scored. Next target is former England striker Darren Bent (106 goals).

It was previously reported that Haaland became the fastest Premier League player to reach the grandmaster level.
