Haaland hat-trick sees off Wolves as Manchester City keep Arsenal ... (The Guardian)

The hat-trick man is back – if he was ever away. Erling Haaland's fourth Premier League treble swept him to 25 competition goals, 31 in all, and may signal ...

"That movement, that power, the clinical nature, the anticipation of where the ball will fall to him, that is so difficult to defend against," he said. He feels the defeats. He is one away from matching Leeds' tally of 26 to make it a clean half. He is stable. He lives 24 hours for his profession, job, passion, love. "He's so good at not being felt; you try to feel him and understand where he is. He is a third of the way towards Sergio Aguero's record tally of 12. Alan Shearer, who has netted more Premier League goals than anyone with 260, scored 11 trebles. "You can get so attached to a player that it frees up space for others. No player has managed more. Aguero, who was Haaland's predecessor up front for City, scored 12 Premier League hat-tricks during his time in England. It took his tally of goals for the campaign to a stunning 31 in all competitions - 25 of them in the Premier League.
