Haaland with 14 goals from 8 games is on track to Obliterate Premier League records

The Manchester City was on target again today in the derby bagging three goals as part of a 6-3 win against the ‘Red Devils’.

Erling Haaland has made a sensational impact since moving to Manchester City this summer from Borussia Dortmund and his goals have helped unbeaten City move to second place in the Premier League table as the ‘Citizens’ sit just behind Arsenal.

In Sunday’s Manchester derby, the Norwegian was instrumental in City’s destruction of their neighbors bagging a hat-trick with Phil Foden too helping himself to three goals as part of a 6-3 romp with Haaland now on 14 goals in his eight Premier League appearances.

The treble was Haaland’s third consecutive Premier League hat-trick after finding the net three times in recent games against Crystal Palace, Forest with United the latest side on the receiving end.

The striker continues to re-write the Premier League record books and is the first player ever to score three home consecutive hat-tricks doing so in just eight games. It took Michael Owen 48 appearances to achieve the same feat.
