Erling Haaland is loving life at Manchester City and has told his new adoring supporters as much following his second hat-trick in as many games.
After two rollercoaster matches in a row against Newcastle United and Crystal Palace, a sense of normalcy returned to City when they hit newly promoted Nottingham Forest for six on Wednesday. Haaland was, of course, the star of the show once again and it took him just 12 minutes to get on the score sheet as he turned in Phil Foden's cross.
The Norwegian then played a brilliant one-two with Foden to tap in the second and completed his hat-trick within 38 minutes by nodding in from close range. Joao Cancelo then added a fourth with a stunning strike before Julian Alvarez got in on the act with his first two Premier League goals.

Haaland has already got nine goals this season and has taken his place at the top of the scoring charts — a position that will be difficult for anyone to shift him from. The 22-year-old has had a dream start at the Etihad and revealed that he's enjoying it after the game.
On Twitter, Haaland wrote: "Doesn't get much better than this!" accompanied by a photograph of him celebrating in front of supporters.
In an interview after the match, he also expressed how well things are going — but warned that City can get even better.
"Amazing, nothing more to say," he said when asked about his performance by BT Sport. "I love playing here, you can see it and it is amazing. It was about keep doing what we did against Palace. All about play, play, play.
"It has been good so far [at City] so I am not complaining. I try to listen as much as I can to Pep.
"There are amazing footballers here, which you can see as I wouldn't score as many goals without them. We play so good, we will become even better.
"It is important to keep going. There is going to be a lot of games, we have to enjoy it as much as we can."
