Premier League takeways: too easy for Haaland, Jesus wins Brazil battle, Klopp's sad story
Another game, another hat-trick and Erling Haaland is making the Premier League look all too easy.
The Manchester City striker made it a league record three trebles in as many home games at the Etihad Stadium - the previous coming against Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace - during his team's derby rout of Erik ten Hag's hapless Manchester United.
The Norway international made it 14 goals in eight Premier League games and 17 in 10 overall in City colours — and he also set-up two of Phil Foden's three goals
United went into the match on the back of four victories but had no answer to the pace, power and finishing of Haaland – and the quality of City as a whole.

There was a heavy Brazilian beat at the heart of Saturday's North London derby that saw Arsenal defeat rivals Tottenham Hotspur at the Emirates Stadium.
Spurs striker Richarlison is ahead of Gabriel Jesus in the pecking order for a starting place in Brazil's starting XI at this year's World Cup, but it was the Arsenal man who came out on top on Saturday, scoring the Gunners' second in a 3-1 win.
Richarlison did win Spurs their first-half penalty after being brought down by countryman Gabriel – allowing Harry Kane the chance to score his 14th goal in 18 games against the Gunners – while another Brazilian, Emerson Royal, was shown a straight red card for a reckless challenge on compatriot Gabriel Martinelli.
That decision “changed the game” according to Spurs manager Antonio Conte, but the Italian will know in his heart that his team were second best.
