In the 1971/72 season, Francis Lee scored 33 league goals for Manchester City in the top division in England. Since then, no one has scored more in one and the same league season for the light blues, according to Opta.

In the 2014/15 Premier League season, the Manchester City legend became top scorer with a whopping 26 league goals. So Haaland has passed it now – in February. With 13 league games left, most things are in place for Jærbuen to also look towards Lee’s numbers. – It is absolutely fantastic. He doesn’t stop setting records. I think people need to stop criticizing him after a few goalless games. It’s almost ridiculous. One game without a goal and then he is criticized. That’s how it has become, says news expert Åge Hareide, who played for City at the start of the 80s.

Haaland hit the crossbar after 15 minutes of play, and with a stick out for the Norwegian, Julián Álvarez was alert for the rebound. Just before the half-hour mark, Haaland was in the right place at the right time. From about four meters he put the ball easily into the goal and doubled the lead for the second in the table. Bournemouth player Philipp Billing had very little insight and played a dangerous cross pass straight into the legs of City striker Phil Foden. In his 200th game for City, the Englishman took advantage of the chance to make it 3-0 just before half-time. Consolation goal With such a starting point, the job for Bournemouth coach Gary O’Neill was going to be very difficult in the second half. The pain got worse for the hosts when Julián Álvarez tried his luck after 51 minutes. The shot from the world champion hit Chris Mepham, who steered the ball into his own net. With three points secured, City fine-tuned the goal difference which could be a decisive factor when a league winner will be decided at the end of the season. Jefferson Lerma got on the scoresheet with a consolation goal after 83 minutes. The match ended 4-1 to Manchester City.
