VIDEO: Haaland conquers the Premier League! After another hat-trick, he rules the scorers’ table and breaks more records
Manchester City brought Erling Haaland into the attack in the summer and all fans were full of anticipation to see what this talented sharpshooter would do in the Premier League. Many people didn’t believe in him, after all the English league has a bigger reputation than the Bundesliga, but it can’t be said that he didn’t do well. On the contrary.

Five games, four wins, one draw. Manchester City 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 have been scored by Erling Haaland, who was also in charge on Wednesday when the Citizens beat Nottingham Forest 6-0. He scored a hat-trick for the second game in a row.
Overall, Haaland is the top scorer in the competition after five rounds. He 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.
To make matters worse, he has two hat-tricks after five games. The same number of hat-tricks have been collected by stars like Sadio Mané, Eden Hazard or Son Heung-Min, who have played a much larger number of games.
And what about the records? For starters, no one has scored two hat-tricks in the Premier League so quickly. Haaland has surpassed former Newcastle or Chelsea star, Demba Ba. He needed 21 games to score two hat-tricks.
No one had that many goals after five games. So this is another record. To make matters worse, Haaland has scored more goals than 15 Premier League teams.
Haaland will be looking to improve their numbers this weekend. They will be up against a floundering Aston Villa side that has just one win and four losses.
