'Epitome of a goal machine' - Man City fans react to sensational Erling Haaland hat-trick

Erling Haaland scored the first hat-trick of his Manchester City career to inspire his side to a 4-2 come-from-behind win against Crystal Palace on Saturday.

City 's Palace hoodoo looked set to continue after a John Stones own goal and a Joachim Andersen header gave the visitors a 2-0 lead going into half-time. Bernardo Silva pulled one back for Pep Guardiola's side early in the second half, before a 19-minute hat-trick from Haaland turned the game on its head.

The £51m summer signing has now scored six goals in his first four Premier League games, after scoring a brace on the opening day defeat of West Ham and one against Newcastle last weekend.

Here's what fans on Twitter made of the Norwegian's match-winning performance.

@mbaalthani8: Look what happens when we try to pass to him

@MokayaGregory: He’s scoring 40 league goals during a World Cup year

@NealGardener_: Haaland is the epitome of a goal machine. The perfectly held run, the freakish strength to hold off his man and, of course, the finish — flawless. Could see that Premier League record going.

@DepressedSamm: Premier League is so overhyped. I was told Haaland would flop

@SimonBrundish: Haaland with 6 goals and an assist from 90 touches in the Premier League

@StevenMcinerney: Mad how relaxed I am if Haaland's is on the pitch. He changes everything. Just knows where to be for a scrappy goal and that's so useful.
