Erling Haaland may have got off to a flyer on his Premier League debut, scoring both goals in Manchester City’s 2-0 win over West Ham, but the Norway international was disappointed he wasn’t able to grab a hat-trick. The 22-year-old opened the scoring from the penalty spot nine minutes before half-time and killed the game off with a well-taken low finish after running onto Kevin De Bruyne’s through-ball in the 65th-minute.
