Erling Haaland scored a hat-trick to lead Manchester City to a 3-1 victory over West Ham, marking his second consecutive treble in as many matches this season. The 24-year-old has now scored 70 goals in 69 Premier League appearances, surpassing several notable players and placing him fourth on the all-time hat-trick list. Manager Pep Guardiola praised Haaland's dedication, noting his commitment to training and his seamless involvement in the game, stating that no defender could stop him, even with a gun. This victory keeps City at the top of the Premier League with a perfect record of three wins from three matches. Haaland’s form has been historic, as he becomes the first player in 30 years to score two hat-tricks within the first three games of a season. City's next challenge will be against Brentford on September 14.
