Erling Haaland showcased his scoring prowess with a magnificent four-goal haul as Manchester City edged closer to a historic fourth consecutive English league title with a resounding victory over Wolves.
City, with no room for error following Arsenal’s earlier win, responded emphatically, with Haaland leading the charge with a stellar performance.
The Norwegian striker opened the scoring from the penalty spot, sending Wolves keeper Jose Sa the wrong way, before doubling City’s lead with a towering header. Haaland then converted another penalty just before halftime, completing his hat-trick in style.
Despite a brief response from Wolves through Hwang Hee-chan, Haaland struck again to seal his four-goal haul, taking his tally to an impressive 25 Premier League goals for the season.
Julian Alvarez added a late goal to seal the win for City, leaving them just a point behind Arsenal with three games remaining.
Haaland’s performance further solidified his status as one of the most prolific scorers in the Premier League, with nine hat-tricks and a remarkable overall tally of 36 goals for the season.
For Wolves, it was a frustrating day compounded by contentious refereeing decisions, leaving manager Gary O’Neil to watch from the directors’ box due to a touchline ban.
Despite the controversy, City’s dominance was undeniable, with Haaland’s clinical finishing proving too much for Wolves to handle. As City inch closer to the title, Haaland’s stellar display sends a clear message to their title rivals.
