Haaland taking English soccer by storm with back-to-back hat tricks

Erling Haaland is taking English soccer by storm. Back-to-back hat tricks. Nine goals in five games. No player has ever made as good a start to the Premier League as the towering Norway striker. Haaland's latest three-goal haul came in the first half of City's 6-0 thrashing of Nottingham Forest on Tuesday, three days after achieving the same feat in the second half against Crystal Palace. City was banking on Haaland being the heir to long-time striker Sergio Aguero and it's already looking as if that is the case. Aguero previously held the record for most goals in a player's first five Premier League appearances, with eight along with former Coventry striker Mick Quinn (from the early 1990s). Haaland has bettered that, and surely more scoring records will fall if he continues like this. For example, can he become the first player to score 40 goals in a single top-flight campaign in England since Tottenham's Jimmy Greaves in 1960-61? What Haaland wants is to win titles," Guardiola
