Manchester City goal-machine Erling Haaland bagged his fifth Premier League hat-trick as the champions maintained their 100% start with a 5-1 defeat of Fulham and Son Heung-min grabbed three for Tottenham Hotspur in a 5-2 win at Burnley on Saturday.
Haaland, who scored four league hat-tricks in a record-shattering first season with City, is already in the groove and his triple against Fulham took his season's goal tally to six.
Third-placed West Ham United, who beat Luton Town 2-1 away on Friday, also have 10 points from their four games. "Important win, we go into the international break having won four in four. Good start to the season," Haaland said.With manager Pep Guardiola absent following back surgery City took a while to get going against Fulham.
Lyle Foster slotted Burnley ahead after four minutes but Son opened his account for the season with a dinked finish after 16 before Cristian Romero put Spurs ahead with a powerful effort in first-half stoppage time. Chelsea have spent around $1 billion in transfer fees since the new ownership led by American Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital completed their takeover of the club in May 2022.
