De Bruyne sees Haaland score a record goal from the stands, City lead again after a smooth victory

Important night for Manchester City. Guardiola's men once again lead the Premier League after a 3-0 win over West Ham, but above all:

Erling Haaland broke Alan Shearer's scoring record with his 35th goal of the season. Phil Foden signs Manchester City's final and 1,000th goal under Pep Guardiola.

No Kevin De Bruyne at Man City - The Red Devils were not selected against West Ham, just like last weekend at Fulham. De Bruyne is struggling with muscle pain, Pep Guardiola does not want to risk his upcoming match against Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-final. De Bruyne has returned to training in the meantime, he could feature against Leeds on Saturday.

De Bruyne's absence was felt first. Man City created little or nothing for long in the first half. In half an hour, Rodri had a shot on the post, just after West Ham had been leading 0-1. After halftime, Ake quickly scored the first free-kick with a free kick. ©REUTERS

In the 70th minute, Haaland scored. A goal worth noting - his 35th goal of the season is a Premier League record as the Norwegian outstrips legends Shearer and Cole. Substitute Foden eventually made it 3-0 with a beautiful aerial strike, Man City's 1,000th goal under Guardiola.

Man City completed their task and overcame Arsenal for the first time to take the lead. The Citizens are one point ahead of the championship contenders and also have a catch-up record. Everything indicates that Guardiola's team will not reveal any more.
