Haaland's Hat-Trick Leads Man City to Victory

Erling Haaland's consecutive hat-trick helped Manchester City secure a 3-1 victory over West Ham United, continuing their perfect start to the Premier League season. Haaland scored three goals, including the winner in the 83rd minute, bringing his total to seven goals in three games.

Erling Haaland's second successive hat-trick propelled Manchester City to a 3-1 win at West Ham United on Saturday, maintaining the champions' perfect start to the Premier League season. The Norwegian striker missed an early chance but made no mistake with the second, calmly slotting past Alphonse Areola to put City ahead in the 10th minute.

West Ham equalised against the run of play after 18 minutes, when Ruben Dias deflected Jarrod Bowen's cross into his own net, before Haaland restored City's lead on the half-hour mark. Haaland secured the win with another cool finish in the 83rd minute, following up last week's treble against Ipswich Town to record his seventh goal in three games as City made it three wins from three.
