It was a memorable evening as two milestones were reached.
First, Erling Haaland broke the record for the most goals scored in a Premier League season.
After Nathan Ake had opened the scoring and broken the stubborn Hammers resistance on 50 minutes, Haaland grabbed our second of the evening on 70 minutes before Phil Foden bagged our third goal five minutes from time.
Haaland’s effort was his 35th of the campaign and saw him surpass the previous record of 34 set by Andrew Cole and Alan Shearer in 1993/94 and 1994/95 respectively.
As well as that, Foden’s 85th minute icing on the cake also brought up another landmark – 1,000 City goals in all competitions under the guidance of Pep Guardiola.

The three points also saw us move back to the top of the top-flight table, one point ahead of Arsenal and with a game in hand.
