Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola can see Erling Haaland breaking the Premier League Golden Boot record this season.

Haaland will be looking at the record of 34 goals for a Golden Boot winner in one season, currently jointly-held by Andy Cole in 1994 and Alan Shearer in 1995.

Haaland is already halfway there with 27 fixtures left to score those 18 goals to set a new record - and Guardiola says he can't deny his star striker is on course to better Cole and Shearer's record.

He said: "We don't have to be a genius, if he continues in this rhythm, with the average every game, he's going to break the record, definitely. But football maybe you score and in a few days stop to score. I don't know.

"I didn't speak with him, I think he's happy when the team wins and not when they lose. All the strikers I seen in my career, Samuel Eto'o, Messi, Robert Lewandowski, Thomas Muller, Sergio Aguero, they have incredible ambition to score goals. It's normal. He has to be like that."
