Norwegian striker Erling Haaland expressed his joy after scoring twice on his debut to help City to a 2-0 Premier League victory over West Ham United.

A first-half penalty from Haaland was followed by a typically clinical finish when the big-money signing from Borussia Dortmund after the break, as the champions picked up three points from their opening game.

With Haaland seen as the striker Pep Guardiola has been lacking since Sergio Aguero's departure, it was fitting that the new arrival became only the second City player to score a brace on his Premier League bow, with the former Argentinian international being the other in August 2011.
