Our Norwegian striker hit three against Manchester United to take home his third match ball already this season.
He reached the total a massive 40 matches before the next best performer in Premier League history - Michael Owen took 48 matches to score three hat-tricks, with Ruud van Nistelrooy (59) and Fernando Torres (64) the next best.
City 6-3 Manchester United | Stats of the match
Haaland’s phenomenal run at the Etihad Stadium started against Crystal Palace back in August, when he bagged three of City’s goals in a 4-2 victory. He followed that just a few days later against Nottingham Forest.
We didn’t have a home Premier League match in September, meaning our No.9 had to wait until the 2 October to continue his run and in one of the biggest games of the season, too.
On Sunday he had a hand in five of City’s six goals (3 goals, 2 assists), the most goal involvements by a player in a single Premier League Manchester derby.
Of all players in the league to have played at least 200 minutes so far, Haaland is the most dangerous with a goal every 39 mins of action.
Expectations were high when Haaland arrived in Manchester this summer, but few could have predicted a start like this...
