"Like a wrecking ball" - Haaland dismantles Manchester United

The poster in the Manchester City fans' block summed up the derby against local rivals United very well. "Haaland - he hit like a wrecking ball," it said. And indeed - a little later the wrecking ball hit United. City dominated the game for a long time, won 6: 3 (4: 0) and Haaland, who came from Borussia Dortmund before the season, scored three goals. The Norwegian prepared another one.

Meanwhile, United, who had previously won four league games in a row, were brought down to earth under the watchful eye of legendary coach Alex Ferguson. And that without his nominal superstar. The aging Cristiano Ronaldo spent the game on the bench and didn't even come on as a substitute.

Haaland, on the other hand, has risen to become the new star of the Premier League within a very short time. Against United he scored in the 34th, 37th and 64th minutes but was not the only hat-trick in his side. Phil Foden also scored three times (8th, 44th, 72nd).

United, who were already 0: 4 behind at the break, could only do cosmetic results. Antony scored to make it 1:4 in the meantime (56th), in the final phase Anthony Martial reduced the deficit with two goals (84th/90th/penalty kick). Not all United fans saw this for a long time, many had already left the stadium by then.

Haaland is now the first player to score a hat-trick in three consecutive home games in the Premier League. He has now scored 17 times in 11 games for Man City.
