The Norwegian sensation opened the scoring in just 19 minutes, calmly slotting home from close range. He then doubled City’s lead with a predatory header before completing his hat-trick with another lethal finish. Haaland’s fourth goal was a moment of brilliance. Receiving the ball on the edge of the area, he skipped past a defender before unleashing an unstoppable shot that flew into the top corner. His fifth and final goal came late in the match, a tap-in from a Phil Foden cross. The victory marked a record-breaking day for both Haaland and Manchester City. It was the first time a player had scored five goals in a Premier League match since Sergio Aguero in 2019. It was also the first time City had scored nine goals in a Premier League game since 2010.

Today, he was unstoppable.” Haaland’s five-goal haul leaves him as the Premier League’s top scorer with 14 goals in just eight games. His blistering form has propelled Manchester City to the top of the table, two points ahead of Arsenal. The City fans erupted in jubilation at the record-breaking win, celebrating Haaland’s incredible performance and the team’s dominant display. It was a day that will long be remembered in the annals of Manchester City history.
