With Erling Haaland's lovely chip over Lukas Fabianski, Manchester City killed the game against West Ham and took a huge step towards the Premier League title by winning their first game in hand to return top of the table.
Nobody will remember that, however, as Haaland's goal was the record-breaking 35th of the season in the league to earn him the outright record for most goals in a Premier League campaign.
Haaland said he would trade all of his goals for a historic treble with Manchester City, and he could still end up with the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup. Whether those winners' medals arrive, though, he has already written himself into history with an incredible number of records that may never be beaten.

Pep Guardiola predicted early in the season that Haaland will break Mo Salah's record of 32 goals in a season - although even he couldn't have expected how quickly his new number nine would chase down that record. He beat that record in April, and secured the outright record in a full campaign against West Ham.
Still with eight games left to play - nine if City reach the Champions League final - Haaland now has a chance to extend his records and ensure they are practically unbeatable. Here, we have listed all the records he has broken so far in his 45-game career at the Etihad:
A debut double against West Ham was followed by a goal against Newcastle and back-to-back hat-tricks against Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest. Haaland even had time to blank against Bournemouth, taking his tally to nine goals from his first five Premier League appearances - setting his first record in the process.
