Erling Haaland smashes ANOTHER Premier League record after latest hat-trick against Fulham
Erling Haaland triumphantly exclaimed, “I’m back,” following his remarkable return to goal-scoring form in front of Manchester City’s home crowd.
Prior to the clash with Fulham on Saturday, Haaland had netted three times in four appearances this season but had endured a frustrating goal drought spanning four matches at the Etihad Stadium, dating back to his hat-trick against West Ham at the conclusion of the previous season.
Despite orchestrating Julian Alvarez’s opening goal against Fulham, City conceded an equalizing goal and endured a lackluster first half.
However, Haaland’s second-half heroics, in the form of a stunning hat-trick, not only secured three crucial points but also elevated his tally to an impressive 38 goals in just 28 games at the Etihad.
Moreover, he achieved the milestone of becoming the quickest player to reach 50 Premier League goal involvements, achieving this feat in a mere 39 games.
Reflecting on the match, Haaland commented during an interview with Premier League Productions at the final whistle, “We started a bit sluggishly, but we finished on a high note. This victory is vital, and it propels us into the international break with a perfect record of four wins in four matches. It’s an excellent start to the season.”
