Erling Haaland has sent an ominous message to the rest of the Premier League following his hat-trick against Nottingham Forest.
From the first whistle, City dominated the ball and they were ahead inside the opening 15 minutes as Haaland prodded home a Phil Foden Cross. It was two on 23 minutes as Haaland comfortably tapped home a Foden pass after Dean Henderson misplaced a goal kick.
Haaland had his hat-trick on 38 minutes. Foden was once again involved as his header found John Stones who nodded it across to the Norwegian to head home. After the break City made it four on the 50th minute when Joao Cancelo scored a wonderful strike into the top left hand corner.
