Erling Haaland scored a hat-trick as Manchester City beats Man United 6-3 in the derby on Sunday.
Before Sunday’s Manchester derby everybody was asking whether Manchester United would be able to stop not just Manchester City, but more specifically Erling Haaland.
The answer turned out to be a resounding no. Haaland scored a hat-trick and set up two more goals as City romped to a 6-3 victory against their cross-city rivals.
The 22-year-old striker ended up sharing the match ball and the Player of the Match Award as local lad Phil Foden scored a brilliant hat-trick of his own.
The win emphatically underlined just how dangerous this City team is with a striker like Haaland leading the attack, and begs the question of whether anyone will be able to stop him.
The win and the bragging rights weren’t the only things City took from the game, with their center-forward bagging five new records.
1. Three consecutive hat-tricks
When Haaland swept home Sergio Gomez’s cross midway through the second half to put City 5-1 up, he became the first player in Premier League history to score hat-tricks in three consecutive home matches.
That’s a very impressive record.. It will take a while for another Player to ever break this.
2. Top scorer in Europe
His treble on Sunday took Haaland up to 14 goals in eight Premier League games, making him the highest scorer in Europe’s big five leagues by quite some margin.
Robert Lewandowski of Barcelona is his closest chaser with 9 goals, while Kylian Mbappe has 8 goals for Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1.
3. Direct goal involvements
With three goals and two assists, Haaland had a hand in 5 of City’s goals out of the total 6 goals they scored against Manchester United at today’s derby.
No player has ever made more goal involvements in a single Premier League Manchester derby.
4. 52 years in the making
Haaland became the first City player to score a hat-trick against United since 1970.
When Francis Lee hit three goals in a 4-1 win at Old Trafford. This is unimaginable.
5. Second youngest
Haaland‘s first-half header made him the second youngest City player to score in a Premier League Manchester derby.
The youngest remains Kelechi Iheanacho, who scored at Old Trafford in September 2016 aged 19 years and 243 days.
The end!
