Top scorer in the Premier League. Fastest to three hat tricks. On track to break the single-season scoring record. Haaland is praised in the clouds after another crazy performance for the light blue in Manchester. He himself thought this weekend’s hat trick was one of the best he has done so far in his life. There is hardly a superlative that has not been used about “Oksen from Jæren, and after his third hat trick in a row at home, many are struggling to find words that have not already been used. This is what a selection of English sports covers looked like: Mirror SportDaily Express SportDaily Star Sporti SportThe Daily Telegraph The joke with Haaland After the match, Haaland, as is usual in the world of football, had the hat trick ball signed by several of his teammates. Especially the greeting he received from teammate Aymeric Laporte was in the humorous corner. HUMOR: Laporte (th) joked with Haaland after another hat trick. Photo: Rui Vieira / AP – I have signed more hat trick balls than I have signed contracts, read the message from Laporte. And when Haaland shared a picture of himself and Phil Foden with each hat trick ball, he continued on the humorous track. – This is going to cost a lot of money in soccer, Laporte wrote when he retweeted the picture of the two. Haaland’s dad Alfie shared a photo of his son’s hat trick ball, where the message from his teammate is visible. AND there were several who found humor in Haaland’s performance. THE NUMBER IS THREE: Haaland showed off three fingers after the hat trick against Manchester United. Photo: PHIL NOBLE / Reuters Both Alfie and former United legend Roy Keane worked as TV pundits during Sunday’s big game and were several times pictured near each other, but without getting into a conversation. A Twitter user commented with a twinkle in his eye that Keane, who destroyed Alfie’s career with the famous tackle at Old Trafford in 2001, should have rather followed the Norwegian’s steps at the time, because then Erling would hardly have been here today: Photo: Screenshot from Twitter / 03.10.22, 11:34 / Martine Sørhus It is descriptive of the status the Norwegian super striker has now acquired. Zlatan + Ronaldo = Haaland? But Haaland’s performance against Manchester United didn’t just generate jokes from teammates and Twitter users. The experts unearthed great words and tributes to the Norwegian. Goalkeeping legend Peter Schmeichel – who has played for both City and United – compared Haaland to some of the world’s biggest football stars. – You can see different players in him. Haaland is a mixture of all top strikers. The Zlatan-like goal, and Cristiano Ronaldo is there too. That is why he is so dangerous, the former goalkeeper told the BBC. THREE IN ONE: Schmeichel believes Haaland has a bit of both Ronaldo and Zlatan in him. Photo: MASSIMO PINCA / Reuters – How would you try to stop Erling Haaland? I have never seen a player like him, writes former Chelsea player John Terry on Twitter. Haaland’s boss is almost frightened. – The numbers speak for themselves. We have an incredible feeling that he always looks hungry and is so competitive. The numbers are scary, said Pep Guardiola after the student’s third hat trick. On track for a record And those figures are being talked about a lot now. The questions are mostly no longer about “if”, but “when” he will break the next records. The scoring record in one and the same Premier League season is 34 goals – set by both Andy Cole for Newcastle and Alan Shearer for Blackburn Rovers. If Haaland continues with his current scoring average, that record will also be broken. The record in a debut season is 30 goals, which is even more achievable for the Norwegian. See Haaland’s goal against United here: Per-Mathias Høgmo had given up his coaching career. Now he is fighting for series gold in Sweden. How many goals does Haaland score in this year’s Premier League season? 14. He is not scoring more now Between 20-30 30 or more At least 50 Show result Alan Shearer’s record of 260 goals in the Premier League is also talked about. – If Haaland stays, Shearer’s record will be broken. I don’t think Harry Kane will quite get there. This guy has absolutely everything, former Chelsea striker Chris Sutton said on BBC Radio. Kane currently has 190 goals in his 290 games in the Premier League.
