Erling Haaland has roared back in style. The Manchester City superstar after a string of subpar outings has put everyone on notice with a first-half hat-trick against Wolves. While two of his three goals came from spot kicks, the player will not think much as he celebrates the achievement. With the barrage against Wolves, Haaland now has 21 career hat-tricks to his name. Talk about being phenomenal!
Just for reference, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have a hat-trick ratio of 18.5 per game and 18.7 per game, respectively. Meanwhile, Erling Haaland with his latest accolade has cleared himself far ahead of the two icons with a hat-trick in every 13.9 games. The striker has been on fire ever since joining Manchester City last summer. The former Borussia Dortmund man has already resigned 6 hattricks for the English side and will look to add more to his tally in the coming months.
