Erling Haaland delivered another spectacular performance, scoring a hat-trick to secure a 3-1 victory for Manchester City over West Ham.
The Norwegian striker’s first goal came from a sharp finish with his left foot after a mistake by Lucas Paqueta gifted Bernardo Silva the chance to set him up.
West Ham levelled the score with a Ruben Dias own-goal, but Haaland responded with a rocket of a strike from 10 yards out to restore City’s lead.
Despite West Ham’s valiant efforts and near misses, Haaland sealed the game in the 83rd minute. A perfectly timed run allowed him to receive a great through ball from Matheus Nunes, and he completed his hat-trick with a composed flick over Lukasz Fabianski.
This was his seventh goal of the season and his 11th hat-trick for Manchester City. Absolutely incredible!
