Erling Haaland arrived at Manchester City with a single objective to score as many goals as s doing better than expected because, in five games, he has scored nine goals. This Wednesday, he achieved his second hat trick in a row, today in a 6-0 thrashing of Nottingham Forest.
In matchday 5 of the Premier League game, which took place this day at the Etihad Stadium, Haaland was a true "killer" in the first 45 minutes and scored his three goals, at minutes 12, 23, and 38, to give an already definitive advantage to his team. Joao Cancelo (50) appeared, and Julian Álvarez doubled (65 and 87) for the resounding win.
From his first game for City, Haaland showed that he is a lethal goalscorer, and he showed it again. Barely at minute 12, he got ahead of his marker and finished off with his left foot to make it 1-0; 10 minutes later, and after City recovered the ball, the players played until Haaland was left alone in front of the frame to finish off with a right foot and make it 2-0.
Norwegian striker appeared again to score his third goal of the day and the perfect hat trick. After a recent, Haaland rose in the area, and with a header, he scored the third and historic goal of the night since no one in the Premier had scored nine goals in just five games.
With the match practically defined, Caicedo appeared in the second half to take a shot outside the area and make it 4-0, which gave Pep Guardiola's team greater peace of mind.
But more goals were missing, and they were two from Julian Alvarez, the first after receiving inside the area and taking an impossible right hand for Dean Henderson, and three minutes from the end, he achieved his double for the final figures and gave the Citizens three more points who add up to 13 in the second general position, two less than the leader Arsenal, which marches with a perfect step.
