The 22-year-old became the fastest player to score 2 Premier League hat-tricks when he got there in his 5th appearance in sky blue, while the previous best mark was 21 appearances by Demba Ba.
Above all, he has already brought his total to 9 achievements in his first 5 matches, one more than Sergio Agüero, already in the jersey of City and Mick Quinn with Newcastle.
Author of three goals in 19 minutes in the crazy comeback once morest Crystal Palace who had led 2-0 before losing 4-2 on Saturday, Haaland this time offered a hat-trick by scoring in the 12th, 23rd and 38th minutes to allow his team to lead 3-0 at the break once morest the promoted.
The goals were certainly not very complicated, Haaland being at the right time to push the ball to the bottom while being each time less than 10 meters from the goals.
But he did exactly what he was recruited for and his statistics, in an English league deemed to be much higher than the Bundesliga where he had shone with Dortmund (62 goals in 67 matches), are already maddening.
The £54m (€62m) release clause paid by City to bring him in at the very start of the summer transfer window is looking more and more like a bargain.
