Haaland was warmly congratulated by his colleagues after breaking a longstanding Premier League goals record.
City’s second of the evening in the 3-0 win over West Ham, scored by Haaland, brought up his 35th goal of the season, seeing him surpass the previous milestone of 34, held by Alan Shearer and Andrew Cole.
Pep Guardiola, part of the line-up to greet him on the pitch, sang his praises after the game and said he deserved the full-time ceremony.
He said: “He deserved it.
“Erling is a special striker. Yes, we are very pleased for him. He’s a joy not just to work and to be with him.
“Everyone is happy to have him with us. This record will be broken again. Maybe by him. But he will score a lot of goals.
“When there is a special occasion, we have to show how special it is.”
Haaland also spoke of his delight at hitting the landmark number.
He added: “Special night. Special moment. I’m really happy and proud.”
