In the 90+4 minute of injury time, Erling Haaland suddenly untied his hair to play with his hair down. It seemed like the Dutch player was ready for the final whistle, but no, Haaland continued to run, received a pass from Phil Foden and scored the goal that sealed the 4-1 score for Man City when the match was only a matter of seconds left.
Haaland's left-footed strike against Arsenal made him the player with the most goals in a Premier League season (38 rounds). The former Dortmund star reached 33 goals, breaking the record held by Mohamed Salah (32 goals in the 2017/18 season). Following him are three famous players with 31 goals: Alan Shearer (1995/96), Cristiano Ronaldo (2007/08) and Luis Suarez (2013/14).
Haaland let his hair down just seconds before breaking the record.
Even with 7 matches in hand, Haaland still has the opportunity to break the all-time Premier League scoring record of legendary duo Andy Cole and Shearer with 34 goals scored when the Premier League was still played in a 42-round format.
Goals from Haaland, John Stones and a Kevin De Bruyne brace helped Man City sink Arsenal 4-1, thereby gaining an advantage in the title race. The "Cityzens" are 2 points behind "The Gunners" but have two games in hand.
Haaland reached 33 goals, surpassing Salah's record.
