Michael Owen makes Erling Haaland “cheat” claim after his Liverpool record obliterated

Former Liverpool and Manchester United striker Michael Owen has teasingly accused Erling Haaland of being a “cheat” after seeing his Premier League hat-trick record destroyed by the Manchester City sensation.

The Norwegian striker has enjoyed an electric start to life at the Etihad Stadium and chalked up his third Premier League treble - and third in succession at home - in the 6-3 win in the Manchester Derby.

That has seen Haaland smash Owen’s all-time Premier League record of matches taken to register three hat-tricks. The former England forward took 48 matches to secure three match balls in the top flight. Haaland beat that record by an astounding 40 matches against the Red Devils.
