Erling Haaland scored four times for Manchester City in a 5-1 win over Wolves to keep the title race boiling
Erling Haaland’s sixth Premier League hat-trick, completed in the opening 45 minutes and featuring two penalties, signalled the goal-scoring phenomenon is back in ruthless mood at the very best of times for
City thudded the ball about imperiously. Silva and Gvardiol combined, Rodri was teed up, and a sighter sailed over José Sá. Here, an augury, as the next time the champions padded forward, a penalty was conceded. City’s tempo was high, their rhythm relentless. Great news for their championship defence, ill-tidings for Arsenal. What they – and Wolves – hoped was that the hosts might lose concentration, as when Kovacic was pickpocketed near halfway, but Silva, racing back to aid his colleagues, was an emblem of City’s mindset.
Haaland’s half ended in the two-penalty hat-trick. This time a burst of speed took him into the area, Nelson Semedo hooked his left foot on to the Norwegian’s right, down he went and, after refusing the spot-kick, Pawson changed his mind after review of the pitchside screen. Again, the penalty went to Sá’s right and again he could not stop it.City’s second half task was to keep on keeping on, as Guardiola demands. They did.
