Erling Haaland has joined an exclusive club of just 13 players to receive a perfect 10/10 rating from French media outlet L’Equipe after his sensational performance against Manchester United.
The Manchester City star bagged a treble in Manchester City’s 6-3 derby demolition of United on Sunday and added a further two assists for teammate Phil Foden, who also scored a hat-trick in a devastating performance from Pep Guardiola’s side.
Not only has Haaland become the fastest player to score three Premier League hat-tricks – having also bagged triples against Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest this season – but he has done so in just eight matches, six times faster than the previous holder Michael Owen (three hat-tricks in his first 48 league games).
