Premier League talking points

Talking points from the latest round of Premier League games:

HAALAND CONTINUES TO MAKE PREMIER LEAGUE LOOK EASY

After going three Manchester City appearances without a goal prior to his side's clash with Tottenham Hotspur last week, it seemed Erling Haaland was human after all.

However, after ending his brief goal drought against Spurs, the Norwegian fired in his fourth Premier League hat-trick of a sensational debut season in England to earn City a 3-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday.

The stats make for remarkable reading. Haaland broke former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy's record of being the fastest player to four Premier League hat-tricks. Haaland's four came in 19 games, Van Nistelrooy's in 65.

His 25-goal league haul from 19 matches would have been enough to win the Premier League golden boot in each of the previous four seasons. Dixie Dean's record of 60 goals scored in a single league season, set in 1928, remains in sight.

NKETIAH SEIZING HIS CHANCE AT ARSENAL

When Gabriel Jesus was sidelined by injury, doubts were raised about Arsenal's depth and whether they could continue to set the pace at the top of the Premier League.

But in homegrown product Eddie Nketiah they have saved themselves millions in the transfer market.

Fellow youth team prodigy Bukayo Saka grabs most of the headlines and scored a beautiful goal against Manchester United on Sunday but Nketiah's double sealed the 3-2 win.

It took Nketiah a while to establish himself at Arsenal having made his debut in 2017 and he was loaned out to Leeds United at one stage. But after Jesus's injury, he has seized his chance with both hands and he now has seven goals from his last seven games in all competitions.
