For the second consecutive week, Erling Haaland delivered a match-winning performance, firing a hat-trick to ensure Manchester City’s flawless start to the Premier League season continues. City extended their perfect record with a 3-1 victory over West Ham at the London Stadium, showcasing their dominance with a final xG of 3.16 compared to the hosts' 0.68.
Haaland's clinical finishing was on full display as he scored twice before the halftime break. His first goal came from a precise finish that left West Ham's defense scrambling, and his second was a powerful strike that showed his predatory instincts. West Ham briefly threatened to turn the tide with a Ruben Dias own-goal, which brought them back into the contest momentarily. However, Haaland’s third goal late in the game sealed the victory and secured the maximum points for City.
The result also extended Manchester City's streak of league wins by at least two goals to 11 games, underlining their dominance in the Premier League. West Ham, though disappointed with the outcome, will now look forward to their next fixture against Fulham after the international break. On the other hand, City will resume their campaign with a home game against Brentford, as they continue their quest for yet another Premier League title.
