Erling Haaland bagged his first Manchester City hat-trick – then vowed to beat his dad's Premier League goal haul.
Haaland plundered a 19-minute second-half treble as Pep Guardiola's champions came from 2-0 down to beat Crystal Palace 4-2. Summer signing Haaland turned the game around, taking his Premier League goal tally to six from just four appearances since his £51million move from Borussia Dortmund.
But the 22-year-old still trails his father, former City, Leeds and Nottingham Forest midfielder, Alf-Inge, who managed 18 Premier League goals in his career – including four for the Blues. Asked about scoring more goals for City than his dad, Haaland said: “He'll probably say he has more goals in the Premier League than me! So I'm going to chase that.
