Erling Haaland scored a perfect hat-trick inside 38 minutes to make history as Manchester City crushed Nottingham Forest 6-0 at the Etihad Stadium.
Having put City 2-0 up with two early close-range finishes, Haaland converted from John Stones’ header to make it nine goals in his first five Premier League matches – a new competition record.
Joao Cancelo then extended City’s lead further with a fine long-range effort, before Julian Alvarez opened his Premier League account with two more goals on his first start.
The dominant win ensured Pep Guardiola‘s side maintained their unbeaten start to the new season and laid down an ominous marker to any would-be challengers, with the champions now fully up to speed.
Manchester City extend their unbeaten games to five in the league.
