Manchester City ruthlessly demolished Wolves 5-1 in the Premier League, with Erling Haaland delivering a historic performance as he scored four goals in a single match for the first time in his Premier League career. The Norwegian’s goal-scoring spree cements City’s relentless pursuit of a fourth consecutive Premier League title as they keep the heat on leaders Arsenal.
Haaland unleashed his scoring brilliance at the Etihad Stadium, securing a stunning hat-trick before halftime. He opened the scoring with a well-placed penalty in the 12th minute, headed home a second in the 35th, and converted another penalty just before the break.
The relentless striker wasn’t finished, extending his tally in the 54th minute with a powerful strike. Substitute Julian Alvarez compounded Wolves’ misery, securing City’s fifth goal in the 85th minute.
Hwang Hee Chan netted a consolation goal for Wolves in the 53rd minute, but it was scant comfort against the Haaland-inspired onslaught.
The victory propels City to 82 points from 35 games, keeping them within striking distance of league leaders Arsenal who have 83 points with a game in hand. The Premier League title race is set for a thrilling climax as these two giants battle for supremacy.
