Haaland breaks Ronaldo record after hattrick; surpasses Premier League goal scoring records

LONDON: Erling Haaland, the Manchester City goal machine broke another set of records when he scored against Wolverhampton Wanderers at the City of Manchester Stadium on Sunday.

After failing to score in three consecutive games, the Norwegian returned to form in the previous match, against Tottenham Hotspur when he equalised to start City's comeback win.

In the match against Wolves, he continued to find the net, taking his goal tally to 25 - two more than the number of goals that saw Mohammed Salah and Heung Min-Son share the Golden Boot last season.

He opened the scoring with a tight header from a Kevin De Bruyne assist in the 40th minute and doubled the tally with a goal from the spot five minutes after restart. His goal tally further increased within minutes as he completed his hattrick in style in the 54th minute.

Haaland's hattrick was his fourth in the Premier league. He now has scored more Premier League hat-tricks than Cristiano Ronaldo (3) and as many as Mohamed Salah (4).

He scored his fourth Premier League hat-trick in just his 19th appearance, breaking Ruud van Nistelrooy's record (in 65th app).

With his 25th goal, the towering Norwegian got level with Mick Quinn in Premier League goals. Haaland has now scored the same amount of goals under Pep Guardiola as Thierry Henry (30).
