Erling Haaland compared to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo after latest hat-trick

Erling Haaland's sensational form continued as he bagged a third Premier League hat-trick in just his eighth game as Manchester City ran riot.

This time Manchester United were his victims as the Norwegian took his total for the season to 17 in the derby. Haaland has long proved his appetite for goals, but his performances at the Etihad have still surprised some given how he's taken to England's top flight.

Records seem to be broken on a weekly basis as the Norwegian, now 22, sets his sights on rewriting history. The single-season record, currently held by Mohamed Salah, looks set to be broken at Haaland's current rate of scoring, with City - and their summer signing - looking relentless. Haaland now has 172 club goals in his career - 103 of those coming in the last 100 games - with a further 21 coming for his country.
