Erling Haaland just could not stop scoring at the moment. The new season has begun and with it the Norwegian striker has also begun to pile up goals. How many? He has scored four goals in just two matches and manufactured a win for Manchester City almost singlehandedly in both occasions in EPL. First, he took his revenge against Cucurella in the match against Chelsea, by slotting it home right in front of him. The indefatigable forward returned to action on Saturday and struck his first hat-trick of the season. Courtesy of Haaland's goals, Manchester City trounced Ipswich Town 4-1 at home.

Erling Haaland Shines Again

For a brief moment, it looked like promoted Ipswich might pull off a major upset after new signing Sammie Szmodics put the visitors ahead early against Man City.

But three goals in less than four minutes from the hosts quickly restored order at the Etihad Stadium. Haaland scored two of those goals, first equalizing with a penalty in the 12th minute and making it 3-1 in the 16th after running onto a perfect ball over the top from Kevin De Bruyne and going around goalkeeper Arijanet Muric. De Bruyne had scored the second into an empty net after Man City winger Savinho robbed Muric of the ball, and Haaland completed his hat trick from outside the area in the 88th.
