Erling Haaland‘s second successive hat trick propelled Manchester City to a 3-1 win at West Ham United on Saturday, maintaining the champions’ perfect start to the Premier League season.
The Norway striker missed an early chance but made no mistake with the second, calmly slotting past Alphonse Areola to put City ahead in the 10th minute.
West Ham equalised against the run of play after 18 minutes, when Rúben Dias deflected Jarrod Bowen‘s cross into his own net, before Haaland restored City’s lead on the half-hour mark.
Haaland secured the win with another cool finish in the 83rd minute, following up last week’s treble against Ipswich Town to record his seventh goal in three games as City made it three wins from three.
