Two hat-tricks. Five days. Records already tumbling.
Haaland's first-half hat-trick in City's 6-0 hammering of Nottingham Forest followed on from his second-half three-timer as they came back from two down to beat Crystal Palace four days before.
The 22-year-old has become the first player to score nine goals in his first five Premier League games. He is the first player to score nine times in the month of August and is providing very useful cover for fellow City new boy Julian Alvarez, who marked his full debut with a second-half double.
"He's brilliant. He's got the lot," said Forest manager Steve Cooper.
