Hat-trick hero Marmoush can ease burden on Haaland
There is not much Erling Haaland has failed to do when it comes to scoring goals since he joined Manchester City.
Fifty-two overall in his first season, including 36 in the Premier League, the most anyone has scored in a single campaign.
Thirty-eight in his second, despite injure for almost two months, and 27 so far this term.
That incredible haul has secured the Norwegian two Golden Boots and an incredible 11 hat-tricks.
Yet none of those trebles came quicker than the 13 minutes and 54 seconds Omar Marmoush took to get his first City hat-trick in the 4-0 win over Newcastle.
After four games without scoring หากคุณสนใจเล่นพนันออนไลน์ที่ดีที่สุด สามารถสมัครสมาชิก UFABET ได้ที่นี่ พร้อมรับโปรโมชั่นพิเศษสำหรับสมาชิกใหม่ since his £59m winter transfer window move from German side Eintracht Frankfurt, it was an impressive and well-timed surge in form given City go to Real Madrid for their crucial Champions League play-off second leg on Wednesday with a one-goal deficit to overcome after a 3-2 loss at home.
It was also the first time any City player other than Haaland had scored three times in a game since Phil Foden did it at Brentford just over a year ago.
And that is the point.
One of the notable features of the terrible mid-season run of one win in 13 games. Which wrecked any chance City had of extending their record run of four successive titles. Was mainly responsible for them ending up having to face Real Madrid so early in the Champions League – was the fact hardly anyone picked up the slack when Haaland’s form dipped.
Josko Gvardiol, Phil Foden and Bernardo Silva all scored two goals in that time. But other than Haaland, who got four, no-one scored more.
