England – Manchester City continued to chase Arsenal at the top of the English Premier League by sweeping away its guest, Wolverhampton, with five goals to one, including a “super hat-trick” by its Norwegian top scorer, Erling Haaland.
The Norwegian striker regained his scoring prowess and scored more than one goal in one match for the first time since his special hat-trick once morest Luton Town (6-2) last February 27 in the FA Cup final.
Haaland opened the scoring from a penalty kick following Algerian Rayan Ait Nouri collided with Croatian forward Joshko Gvardiol in the 12th minute, then the Norwegian striker added the second goal in the 35th minute with a header from Spaniard Rodri’s cross.
Haaland completed the hat-trick with a penalty kick that he took following being fouled by Gabonese Mario Lemina (45+3).
South Korean Hwang Hee-chan scored the goal to reduce the difference for Wolverhampton in the 53rd minute with a wonderful shot.
Haaland responded quickly with a fourth personal goal, and in a more beautiful way than the first three goals, when he shot from the outskirts of the area into the goalkeeper’s right corner (54).
Three minutes following he came on for Haaland, Argentine Julián Alvarez scored fifth (85).
The victory raised Man City’s score to 82 points, in second place behind leaders Arsenal by one point, but Man City has a postponed match once morest Tottenham that it will play on May 14, giving it the opportunity to seize the lead if it wins.
On the other hand, Wolverhampton remained in 11th place with 46 points.
