BRIGHTON : Brighton & Hove Albion's teenage striker Evan Ferguson found himself in some illustrious company on Saturday as his three goals matched the Premier League hat-tricks scored by Manchester City's Erling Haaland and Tottenham Hotspur's Son Heung-min.
Erling Haaland has become the quickest Premier League player to reach 50 goal contributions, breaking the previous record held by Andy Cole.
Erling Haaland scored a hat-trick as Manchester City maintained their perfect Premier League start with a 5-1 thrashing of Fulham on Saturday, as Son Heung-min also netted three times in Tottenham's 5-2 victory at Burnley. But Chelsea's huge investment in the transfer market is still to reap reward as the Blues lost 1-0 at home to Nottingham Forest. In keeping with the early weeks of the season, City were good enough for the three points without ever hitting top gear. "Every year is like this at this club. We start a bit late and a bit sloppy because we play right until the last game (of the season) because we are the best club," said Haaland. "We will only get better and better from here."

Juanma Lillo said there was never any doubt that Erling Haaland would continue to take penalties for Manchester City after he put last weekend's miss behind him by scoring against Fulham.

MANCHESTER, United Kingdom: Erling Haaland scored a hat-trick as Manchester City maintained their perfect Premier League start with a 5-1 thrashing of Fulham on Saturday, as Son Heung-min’s also netted three times in Tottenham’s 5-2 victory at Burnley. But Chelsea’s huge investment in the transfer market is still to reap reward as the Blues were beaten 1-0 at home by Nottingham Forest. In keeping with the early weeks of the season, City were good enough for the three points without ever hitting top gear. The English champions were without manager Pep Guardiola as he recovers from back surgery in his native Catalonia. The home side had not had a shot on target until Julian Alvarez turned home Haaland’s cross to open the scoring on 31 minutes. Fulham, who were missing influential midfielder Joao Palhinha after his deadline day move to Bayern Munich collapsed on Friday, responded immediately when Tim Ream tapped in from a corner. City needed a set-piece of their own to restore the lead in controversial circumstances. Nathan Ake’s header was allowed to stand despite Manuel Akanji, who was in an offside position, jumping over the ball. Haaland then exploded after the break.
Erling Haaland grabbed a second-half hat-trick as Champions Manchester City maintained their 100% Premier League start with a stormy but ultimately comfortable 5-1 win over Fulham.
