Then, as the space opens up, he has another movement and a shift of the eyes to the far post which means the goalkeeper is now on the wrong foot, as he thinks Haaland is shooting there. Sunday is his first Manchester derby and his dad has painful memories of this game, after the Roy Keane tackle. United have the history, but they can’t match the pull of Pep’s City right now. Then there is the goal against Wolves — probably the only ‘counter-attack’ goal he has scored. Are we saying the Champions League is a Farmers League? So less of the Farmers League.

Erling Haaland has taken the Premier League by storm and the Manchester City star has been backed to break a 30-year record.

“And I’m telling you now, I think we could be seeing the first player in Premier League history to score a double hat-trick in one game.

With a clash against Liverpool to come in October, it's certainly not going to be easy. Should he even get close to the record, it would be worth noting. He registered hat-tricks against Palace and Forest, but has looked unplayable in all of his appearances so far this term. He netted the Foxes' goal in his side's 1-1 draw against United in 2015.

At the end of the season, While some of them are perhaps unrealistic, others, given the way the Norwegian international has started the season, look very achievable. Following his summer switch from Borussia Dortmund, the 22-year-old has registered 11 goals and one assist in seven Premier League matches.
