‘Unstoppable’ Erling Haaland makes record Premier League start

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola labelled Erling Haaland “unstoppable” after the striker scored a second straight hat trick to set a new record for most goals through three games of a Premier League season.

After a treble in a 4-1 win over Ipswich Town a week ago, Haaland was at it again with all three City goals in their 3-1 victory at West Ham on Saturday to take his tally for the season to seven.

Haaland’s first was a sublime finish past Alphonse Areola after Bernardo Silva played him in one-on-one, while his second was a close-range thunderbolt that almost broke the net.
