Big wins were the order of the day as Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur stayed unbeaten while Chelsea suffered another setback on Premier League Saturday.
Following West Ham’s 2-1 win over Luton on Friday night football, Sheffield United and Everton played out a 2-2 draw in Saturday’s lunchtime kick off.
It was on the goal rush where the stars of the football world really stamped down their authority, though. And no one less so than Erling Haaland.
City’s star striker bagged a hatrick at home to Fulham to reach 50 goal involvements (41 goals, 9 assists) in just 39 league games, breaking Andrew Cole’s record to become the fastest player to the milestone.
The Norwegian also bagged an assist as Pep Guardiola’s side came out 5-1 winners.
At Turf Moore, South African striker Lyle Foster made it two goals in as many appearances — however once again his effort was not enough for Burnley as Spurs thumped them 5-2.
Heung Min Son returned to form with a sublime hatrick while James Maddison Christian Romero were on the scoresheet as well.
At Stamford Bridge, Chelsea were beaten 1-0 by a Nottingham Forest out to prove a point.
An early second half goal from Anthony Elanga as he came off the bench was enough for Steve Cooper’s troops to claim a win at the home of the Blues for the first time in nearly 30 years.
In other results on the day, Brentford and Bournemouth drew 2-2 while Brighton defeated Newcastle 3-1 with Evan Ferguson scoring the third hatrick of the day.
