Unbelievable! Haaland breaks record with three hat-tricks in eight rounds, previous record holder needed two seasons

He was on a rampage in Salzburg, he was on a rampage in Dortmund, he is on a rampage in Manchester City. Erling Haaland breaks European records for the fourth season, this time totally “mocking” all the Premier League scoring icons. After all, let’s see for ourselves.

Manchester City have always been the favourites for the title for the last four seasons, but this year, according to the experts, they have been even more out of step with the rest of the league. After eight rounds it is second, but only one point behind leaders Arsenal.

Why Manchester are so trusted is simple, Erling Haaland joined the club in the summer and has adapted incredibly quickly to the new league. After eight rounds, he has fourteen goals and three assists, with three more in the Champions League.

The Norwegian youngster is particularly good at home. He has scored nine league goals in four games at the Etihad Stadium, specifically scoring a hat-trick each time in the last three rounds. Before United, Nottingham and Crystal Palace took it.

At the same time, Haaland broke Michael Owen’s record of more than twenty years with three hat-tricks. The latter netted his third Premier League hat-trick in a Liverpool jersey in his 48th game and was the fastest scorer of three three-goal games to date.

This fact just confirms what an incredible start to the season Haaland is having. Similarly, the names in the fastest hat-trick statistics suggest that the Norwegian sniper is on his way to the top of the social ladder.

If Haaland continues at a similar pace, he could attack the record of Allan Shearer and Andrew Cole, who are the Premier League’s top scorers in a single season with 34 shots.

If Haaland wants to overtake the pair of legends, he needs to score a goal every 128 minutes on average over the next thirty rounds. And hand on heart, he should be able to do that, if his health holds out, of course.
