City is unstoppable with Haaland, Tottenham five points with a turn

In the 58th minute, the Norwegian received Alvarez’s assist and converted Sanchez from inside the box to make it 3-1, while in the 70th minute he took the penalty won by the Argentine striker to make it 4-1, becoming the fastest player of the season In Premier League history, he was involved in 50 goals in the league (41 goals – 9 assists) in just 39 games (previously the record was held by Andrew Cole, who needed 43 games).

The player phenomenon of recent years in European stadiums didn’t end there, however, as he scored with a flick inside the penalty area in the fifth minute of added time, celebrating a hat-trick to seal City’s 5-1 and the English champions’ 4 in 4 in the this year’s Premier League.
