Erling Haaland, the top player for Manchester City, has received high plaudits from head coach Pep Guardiola in the wake of his three trick in the Manchester derby.
The 22-year-old forward led Man City to a 6-3 victory over Man United on Sunday by scoring three goals and providing two assists. With his hat trick from yesterday, Haaland has now scored a hat trick at the Etihad Stadium in three straight games.
“The numbers speak for themselves,” Pep Guardiola stated in a post-game interview. He’s done this before in this place. Not in our way. We always make an effort to support him in our setting. We have this great impression that he is extremely competitive and always appears starving.

Of course, the talent we have next to him aids in his goal-scoring. I didn’t teach him anything about what he did, though.
He has incredible instincts that the ball will arrive there and it comes from his parents. When the ball is right and he attacks the box, he moves behind the central defender and away from the action. He was born with that, and all we can do is assist him in setting new ones.
Recall that the legendary John Terry of Chelsea has informed Graham Potter, the manager, that first impressions matter.
On Saturday, Potter led the Blues to their first Premier League victory at Crystal Palace after drawing his first game in charge in the Champions League against Red Bull Salzburg.
