24 May 2023 at 22:53 Guardiola angry when Haaland touched a new record Erling Braut Haaland has set record after record so far this season. On Wednesday, the record for the number of goals scored in a Premier League season was touched, in the period when the Premier League has consisted of 20 teams (since the 1995/96 season). After he himself had missed a header and failed to pull off a good finish alone with Brighton keeper Jason Steele early in the first half, he chose the pass when he was again played free in the back room. Haaland found Phil Foden and with Steele out at half-distance, Foden sent City into the lead. It was Haaland’s 44th goal in the Premier League this season, spread over 36 goals and eight assists. Only Thierry Henry (2002/03) has done the same in a Premier League season with 20 teams. According to The Analyst, both Andy Cole (1993/94) and Alan Shearer (1994/95) have scored 47 goals in a season, but both in seasons with 22 teams in the Premier League. Brighton’s Julio Enciso equalized with a crazy long shot before the break. It was also the last important goal of the match. Haaland thought he had sent City into the lead when he ran free inside the box and headed the ball into the goal just over ten minutes before the end. However, after a VAR check, the goal was canceled after Haaland left in the uniform of Brighton defender Levi Colwill. Down on the sidelines, City manager Pep Guardiola raged against the decision, apparently because the City bench believed that it was Colwill who first took hold of Haaland. However, Guardiola was not heard, other than that he talked about getting a yellow card. For City, it was thus their first loss of points after twelve straight victories in the Premier League, but they already secured the league gold at the weekend. Brighton, on the other hand, is assured of sixth place. The Premier League ends on Sunday.
