Erling Haaland gives typically modest response after firing hat-trick past Man Utd

Erling Haaland insisted Manchester City's 6-3 home win over local rivals Manchester United was "not bad" after he scored a hat-trick for the third time this season.

The 22-year-old cost Pep Guardiola's side a relative bargain fee of £51million in the summer and he has already gone some way to paying that sum back in just eight Premier League games. The Norway international scored his third hat-trick in as many home games against United on Sunday afternoon in a particularly one-sided derby at the Etihad.

Remarkably, Haaland wasn't the only player to score a treble in the game. Phil Foden also netted three goals, becoming the first Manchester-born City player to do so in the derby in the Premier League era.
