• Erling Haaland has been on a rampage. He does whatever he wants on the pitch, laughs Guardiola
• The Norwegian bomber scored a hat-trick in the West Ham net
• Manchester City lead the Premier League after three rounds

Erling Haaland. A name that has been resonating again in recent days, not just among Manchester City fans, but throughout the football community. The Norwegian striker continues his incredible Premier League campaign.

In his last game against West Ham, Haaland once again showed why he is considered one of the best strikers in the world. The three goals he scored not only secured Manchester City’s 3-1 win, but also put his team at the top of the league table.

“The three points are the most important, so I’m happy. I feel good and energized, ” Haaland commented on his performance on the club’s website.

Haaland is unstoppable

The first of his three shots came in the tenth minute when a brilliant pass found Bernardo Silva. Haaland handled the West Ham defence with ease and opened the scoring.

The second goal came in the 30th minute when the Norwegian shot-stopper fired the ball under the top bar, completely surprising the Areola goalkeeper. He then completed his hat-trick in the 83rd minute when he ran between defenders on a pass from Nunes and finished coolly.

Pep Guardiola, the Manchester City coach, gushed after the game. For such a young age he has incredible numbers. He does what he wants on the pitch. He’s a smart guy who wants to score goals. He understands very well what we’re trying to do. He scored three goals today and didn’t lose a ball.”

West Ham coach smiles

Even though West Ham eventually lost all three points, their coach Julen Lopetegui had to bow to Haaland.

“He’s one of the best players in the world and he proved it. That’s why he plays for Manchester City. I’m sorry about the first goal, but overall I’m happy with the performance. I think we were able to draw.”

The performance of Czech national team players Tomáš Souček and Vladimír Coufal, who intervened in the second half, could not change the fate of the match, but both players contributed to the team’s dignified performance.

“We have to continue and work on the good things we did against City. We played one of the best teams in the world and we were close to succeeding,” Lopetegui assessed the match.

Manchester City reigns the Premier League after three rounds with nine points and Haaland is heading for another phenomenal season with his seven goals. West Ham are 14th after one win and two losses. Now they have to work hard to get back into the top half of the table.

The Premier League may be early days, but one thing is certain. With Erling Haaland in the line-up, Manchester City are on course to defend their title.
