Erling Haaland scored his eighth Premier League hat-trick to inspire City to a 3-1 victory over West Ham at the London Stadium.

Our striker was on the scoresheet twice on his league debut back in August 2022 away against the Hammers and went one better on this occasion, taking him to seven goals in three games this season.

Pep Guardiola‘s men made the perfect start in London, with Haaland stroking in calmly from Bernardo Silva’s perfect pass.

The hosts struck back nine minutes later, with Jarrod Bowen’s cross deflecting off Ruben Dias and beyond Ederson.

On the half-hour mark, Haaland was on target again, rifling us back into the lead from a Rico Lewis pass, taking his tally to 69 Premier League goals in 69 Premier League games.

Shortly after the interval, the Hammers almost found another equaliser, quickly going from defence to attack, but Mohammed Kudus’ venemous strike cannoned off the post.

With seven minutes left to play, Haaland completed his hat-trick, racing through on goal and dinking over Lukasz Fabianski, claiming consecutive trebles after his three goals in our last victory over Ipswich.

We remained in control and secured a valuable three points to maintain our winning start to the league campaign with three victories from three matches heading into the international break.
