New Manchester City signing Erling Haaland marked a fine Premier League debut by scoring in each half as the champions began their title defence with a clinical 2-0 victory over West Ham United at the London Stadium on Sunday.

Erling Halaand celebrating with team-mates after scoring a goal

“It’s nice that he saw both goals as it is a big moment for me as a debutant in this competition,” the 22-year-old Haaland said. “Also now it is almost 30 minutes since I scored the last goal so I have to keep going,” he added. West Ham was forced into the early change when Fabianski picked up a knock clearing a cross from Kevin De Bruyne as he clattered into team mate Aaron Cresswell and Haaland.

City, who had a first-half goal disallowed after Ilkay Gundogan was offside in the build-up, made a slightly disjointed start to the match but gradually strengthened their grip on the contest and doubled their lead after the hour mark.
