Julian Alvarez won't make headlines every week for his goals, Manchester City have been warned.
Alvarez signed for City for £14.1m in January and will remain at River Plate until July. He scored his first goals since the high-profile transfer this week as River beat Patronato in the Argentine League Cup, netting a brilliant hat-trick that has excited City fans looking at footage of the goals.
First, Alvarez controlled a tricky cross before heading the bouncing ball past the goalkeeper, before he unleashed a finish that Sergio Aguero would be proud of, firing high into the roof of the net from a tight angle with a powerful first-time finish. His hat-trick goal was a smart finish into the bottom corner after being sent into the area behind the last defender.
