With that strike, Haaland became only the second player to score 20+ goals in each of his first three Premier League seasons.
“Happy. (It’s an) important three points, that’s what we need,” he said in an interview after the match.
“Yeah I think Jeremy (Doku) did a really good game and he should have had more assists today. It was a great goal and good to get the ball from Jeremy.
“It’s not easy to know when to get the ball, it was lucky as well with the deflection there.”
