Erling Haaland Not Human, Scores Fastest Premier League Hat-trick

When talking about Premier League one thing that is remembered is the birth of many top world players. Starting from Cristiano Ronaldo, Thierry Henry, to Michael Owen.

Until today, the process of giving birth to great footballers does not stop there. One of the players who is now the center of attention of fans is Erling Haaland .

At the start of the 2024/2025 Premier League season, Haaland never stops making history. Most recently, the Norwegian striker made his name as the first player to score three goals (hat-trick) in two of three Premier League games in a single season since Paul Jewell for Bradford in 1994-95.

The nickname The Robot seems to be increasingly attached to Haaland. Yes, the 24-year-old player really doesn’t seem human. In three matches, he has scored seven goals.

Six goals scored in just two games. West Ham United became victims of the former Borussia Dortmund’s ferocity when Manchester City won 3-1 at the London Stadium, Saturday (31/8/2024).

Haaland has so far scored 70 goals in 69 Premier League games for Man City, including eight hat-tricks in 69 games.

Compared to the three footballers who have played in the Premier League, Haaland is the only fastest player to score eight hat-tricks in 69 games. Second place is taken by Thierry Henry (258 games). Followed by Harry Kane (320 games) and Michael Owen (326 games).

“I feel good, I feel energetic. I had a long holiday and pre-season. I feel good. My years here went by very quickly. Now I can rest a little bit for my body and my legs. Now I am ready for more things,” Haaland explained when speaking to Sky Sports.

No Reason Haaland Can’t Surpass Ronaldo and Messi

Micah Richards believes Haaland has the ability and potential to score more goals than Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. He has scored 263 goals in 317 games in his career (club and Norway).

These numbers are quite spectacular, but Haaland still has a long way to go before he can match Ronaldo or Messi. Yes, the former Manchester United star has so far scored 899 goals in 1,235 career games.
