'I didn't expect to be THAT good!': Erling Haaland admits his record-breaking 52-goal season has exceeded his expectations as he picks up FWA Footballer of the Year award in London

Erling Haaland has admitted his record-breaking first season in English football has surpassed his expectations.

He has set his sights on history as Manchester City chase the treble. The striker remained focused on City's finals as he collected the Football Writers' Association's Footballer of the Year award in London on Thursday.

Haaland has scored 52 goals in 51 games for City - ahead of Sunday's Premier League finale at Brentford - following his £51million move from Borussia Dortmund last summer.

City face Inter Milan in Istanbul in the Champions League final on June 10, a week after they play Manchester United in the FA Cup final, having already won the Premier League.
