Five games, four wins, one draw. Manchester City have started the new season in great form, but they are in second place behind Arsenal. However, they have scored the most goals of any team (19).
Almost half of the goals were scored by Erling Haaland, who was also in charge on Wednesday when the Citizens beat Nottingham Forest 6-0. And it was the Norwegian hitman who contributed to this demolition with a hat-trick, his second in a row.
“I say it again. The boy will break all the records that exist,” Michael Owen said in an interview with Spanish daily Marca.
“He’s too big, too fast, he has a killer instinct and he plays in a team that can create a lot of chances in a game. All he needs is to stay healthy,” the former England striker concluded his assessment of the skilful Nora.
Overall, after five rounds, Haaland is the top scorer in the competition. He has scored 9 goals in five games and holds several records that will be hard to beat. The fact that Nor needed only 101 touches with the ball to score 9 goals is worth mentioning.
No one in the Premier League has ever scored two hat-tricks so quickly. Haaland has even surpassed former Newcastle and Chelsea star Demba Ba. He needed 21 games to score two hat-tricks.
No one has scored that many goals in five games. So this is another record. To make matters worse, the 22-year-old striker has scored more goals than 15 Premier League teams.
How about another hat-trick? He can score one on Saturday when Manchester City take on a horrendous Aston Villa side, from whom much was expected before the season. However, after five rounds, they are in second to last place with three points.
