  • Haaland scored incredible hat-trick against West Ham
  • Norwegian now has seven goals this season
  • He has scored eight hat-tricks in the Premier League

  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    There are few ways of stopping Haaland, most try and most fail. Ipswich last week fell victims to the Norwegian's seventh Premier League hat-trick and by gameweek three he added another at the despair of West Ham fans. Along with his continuous match-ball collection, he has a fine knack for breaking records as well.

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    He opened the scoring at the London Stadium with a cool finish tucked into the net, he then followed it up by cannoning a shot onto the inner side of the crossbar before lofting his third over substitute goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski to collect the match ball. He has now become the first player since Bradford City's Paul Jewell 30 years ago to score two hat-tricks in a club's opening three games.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    His hat-trick strike rate is at a frightening one in every nine games. To compare that to some of the other goal-loving strikers, Harry Kane bagged a treble eight times and it took him 320 games to do so, Sergio Aguero has 12 hat-tricks and that feat would occur once every 24 games. To top it off he now has 70 goals in 69 Premier League games for City.

    WHAT NEXT FOR HAALAND?

    Haaland looks refreshed and the summer off has definitely given him a cutting edge. His record tally in one league season is 35 goals, and with seven in the opening three games, he might be ready to break another.
