A win against Forest with a hat-trick for the Norwegian and a brace for La Araña in his debut as a starter in the Premier League. Cancelo joined the party. What was Haaland’s night, another, was also Julián’s night and the night of an overwhelming City that added a new victory in the Premier League, sweeping Nottingham Forest with six goals, three from the Norwegian, two from the Spider and one de Cancelo who also enjoyed his dose of prominence. It was a complete party, with a Haaland gutting records with his hat-trick between the 12th and 38th minutes and with Julián celebrating his first start in England with not one, but two goals in the second half. Up to 18 footballers have joined Forest in the summer of his return to the Premier League 23 years later. But Pep Guardiola’s men dominated from start to finish a game that was only played at the rival ground, without a change of scenery as the goals went up on the scoreboard. It was an overwhelming domino. Pep called to dominate the games after coming from behind in the last two days and being two goals down on the scoreboard in four recent games of the championship. There was only one dominator. And a first protagonist: Erling Braut Haaland. A monster has come to see us. The Norwegian is unleashed in his first weeks in the Premier League and added three goals, nine in five games, with a perfect hat-trick. Right, left and head. Demolition Man. If the first part was from Erling, the second was from Julián. In his first tenure, the Spider showed more than ever all his virtues. Insatiable mobility, non-negotiable delivery and goal. They were two. On the night of Erling and Julián, Cancelo had his particular cameo on the show. His was the first of the goals in the second half, the team’s fourth, a luxury opening act for Julián. The side? Total planted himself to the front to launch a cannon shot at Dean Henderson’s squad. THE DATA Erling Haaland has nine goals in his first five Premier League games. He beats our legend, Sergio Agüero and Mick Quinn, both with eight. The Norwegian also surpasses the goals scored by Harry Kane in the championship during the month of August. The Spurs forward (8) needed 26 games to achieve them. Erling, five. WHAT IT MEANS City remain second, two points behind Arsenal, who add their games by wins. Mikel Arteta’s men beat Aston Villa 2-1 with goals from Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli.
