After Erling Haaland scored his second hat-trick three games into the 2024/2025 Premier League season against West Ham United, his goalscoring exploits were lauded by many.
Haaland has equalled Thierry Henry’s Premier League hat-trick tally (eight) after spearheading City to a 3-1 victory on Saturday.
Pep Guardiola claimed no centre-back can stop Haaland across world football when he runs in behind any defence due to his tremendous pace and power.
Ilkay Gundogan merely described Haaland as “incredible” as he put on a show at the London Stadium.
Even Jamie Redknapp claimed Haaland “looks better than ever” — which he stated is a “terrifying” prospect for defenders in the Premier League.
So far, Haaland has scored a hat-trick in the Premier League in every 8.6 games — as per Squawka.
As a result, it is likely that the Manchester City striker’s magnificence will be discussed in the coming days.
What Sancho said to Man City superstar after West Ham win
Each of Haaland’s goals were indicative of his incredibly complete game as a centre-forward.
The £51 million man’s opening goal exhibited the fact that he always remains proactive and the fact that he mastered the art of opening up his body up and placing the ball past the goalkeeper.
Haaland’s second goal simply demonstrated his brilliant first touch and his incredible striking of the ball — much like for his third strike against Ipswich Town.
While the Norwegian’s goal that sealed his hat-trick exhibited his clever movement and penchant for keeping goalkeepers guessing by clipping the ball over Lucas Fabianski; a finish he rarely ever even tries.
Haaland celebrated another spectacular day for himself at the office on Instagram after Manchester City defeated West Ham by posing with the match ball from the game on Instagram.
Jadon Sancho, who has recently joined Chelsea from Manchester City on loan commented on his post, writing: “What a guy!”
Sancho and Haaland played in tandem at Borussia Dortmund — forming a devastating duo in Germany.
The 24-year-old’s focus will now be on Norway’s upcoming games against Kazakhstan and Austria in the Nations League.
The former RB Salzburg striker will be heading into the international break brimming with confidence.
