Erling Haaland continued his remarkable scoring streak by netting a hat-trick, leading Manchester City to a 3-1 victory over West Ham United, maintaining their perfect start to the Premier League season. Haaland's goals brought his tally to seven in just three matches, making him the first player since Paul Jewell in 1994-95 to score a hat-trick in two of a team's first three league games. Despite West Ham's early aggression and a brief equalizer from an own goal by Ruben Dias, they struggled to capitalize on chances, with Mohammed Kudus hitting the crossbar. City dominated possession and created more opportunities, with Haaland sealing the victory late in the match. Pep Guardiola praised Haaland's contributions and expressed confidence in his team, while West Ham's manager Julen Lopetegui acknowledged the positives despite the defeat. This result leaves Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table, while West Ham sits in 14th place.
