West Ham 1 Man City 3: Erling Haaland bags yet another ruthless hat-trick as champions capitalise on Arsenal slip-up

ERLING HAALAND took his tally to SEVEN Premier League goals in THREE games this season as his second successive hat-trick earned Manchester City a 3-1 win over West Ham.

The champions needed just 10 minutes to go in front as Lucas Paqueta was robbed of the ball and Bernardo Silva slid Haaland in before the Norwegian confidently stroked home.

The Hammers did equalise shortly after when Ruben Dias turned a Jarrod Bowen cross into his own net.

But order was restored on the half hour mark when Haaland lashed a venomous effort into the top corner from a Rico Lewis cutback.

And he made it back-to-back hat-tricks following his treble against Ipswich when he beat the offside trap and tucked home with seven minutes remaining.

Haaland now has 70 Premier League goals in 69 games and 95 in 101 in all competitions for Man City.
