Haaland secures his 4th hat-trick of the season as Man City dominates Wolves with a 3-0 victory

Erling Haaland’s hat-trick heroics led Manchester City to a commanding 3-0 victory over Wolves at the Etihad Stadium.

The Norwegian striker scored his fourth treble of the season, taking his Premier League goal total to a staggering 25, solidifying his status as one of the most deadly strikers in the league.

The match started off with a fiery opening period, with several yellow cards handed out. City’s dominance on the field was evident as they created a host of chances, with Haaland almost scoring in the 18th minute. However, it was on the 40th minute that Haaland headed home the first goal via a pinpoint cross from Kevin De Bruyne.
