Erling Haaland reached the milestone of 7 hat-tricks in the Premier League after scoring 3 goals against Ipswich Town.
Erling Haaland once again shined for Man City. The Norwegian striker scored a hat-trick against Ipswich Town in the second round of the Premier League. Man City’s No. 9 “turned on” with a cool penalty kick. Haaland fooled the opposing goalkeeper and then gently finished into the opposite corner.
The second goal showed the understanding between the Norwegian striker and Kevin De Bruyne. The Belgian midfielder had a long pass that was just in time for Haaland’s movement. Man City’s No. 9 was also very skillful when he passed the opposing goalkeeper with just a head control and gently finished into the empty net.
Haaland showed his class as a world-class striker in the third goal. The Norwegian striker decided to shoot from outside the penalty area despite having no momentum. However, the player’s leg strength was so good that the ball was still tight, making it impossible for the Ipswich Town goalkeeper to block.
With this hat-trick, Haaland has scored 4 goals after 2 rounds of the Premier League and has taken the title of “Top scorer”. The Norwegian striker has sent a challenge to those who aim for this award. Haaland has been the “Top scorer” of the Premier League for 2 consecutive seasons and this year could be the third time.
Erling Haaland is truly a “goal machine”. It turns out that this player has had 23 hat-tricks in his career despite only turning 24. That is a truly terrifying number. If counting only for Man City, it is 10 hat-tricks, and if counting only in the Premier League, it is 7 hat-tricks, equal to Wayne Rooney.
Among foreign players playing in the Premier League, Erling Haaland has climbed to third place among players with the most hat-tricks. The leader is Sergio Aguero (12 hat-tricks in 275 matches), second is Thierry Henry (8 hat-tricks in 258 matches). Meanwhile, Haaland only needs 68 matches to have 7 hat-tricks. With this scoring speed, Haaland can completely surpass Aguero in a few years.
Another notable point is that the Norwegian striker has scored against all opponents in the Premier League (23 teams). Haaland has also almost completed the list of goals scored from the 1st to the 90th minute. Currently, Man City’s No. 9 is only missing the 1st minute to complete the collection.
