Manchester City’s star striker Erling Haaland is making waves in the Premier League once again, netting his second hat-trick in as many games against West Ham United on Saturday. This impressive feat brings his total to eight Premier League hat-tricks, drawing him level with legends like Michael Owen, Harry Kane, and Thierry Henry.

What’s truly astonishing, however, is the pace at which Haaland is achieving these milestones. While Owen, Kane, and Henry took 326, 320, and 258 games respectively to reach eight hat-tricks, Haaland has done so in just 69 games. This puts him hot on the heels of Robbie Fowler, Alan Shearer, and Sergio Aguero, who hold the top spots in the Premier League hat-trick record books.

Former Chelsea and Aston Villa striker Tony Cascarino believes Haaland has a strong chance of breaking Aguero’s record this season, stating, “They’ll probably get another four hat-tricks this season… It’s astonishing.” With Haaland’s current form and confidence, it’s hard to argue with Cascarino’s prediction.

Haaland’s impressive start to the season has already seen him score seven goals in just three games, leaving him well on track to secure a third consecutive Premier League Golden Boot. His ability to find the back of the net with ease has left fans and pundits alike in awe, and it will be exciting to see how the rest of the season unfolds for this talented young striker.

As the Premier League continues to witness Haaland’s incredible talent, one thing is certain – this is a player who is redefining the boundaries of what’s possible in the beautiful game. Will he break Aguero’s record this season? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure – Erling Haaland is a force to be reckoned with.
