"Erling Haaland scored two goals and made another as Manchester City underlined their growing title credentials with a comfortable 3-0 victory over West Ham. The prolific Norwegian was on target after just five minutes of a one-sided encounter at the Etihad Stadium, before teeing up Tijjani Reijnders and adding another in the second half. Haaland was inches away from completing a hat-trick in stoppage time."
"City looked focused from the outset and their dominance of possession brought early reward for Haaland. They moved the ball down the left with Nico González playing Phil Foden into the box before the England midfielder pulled back invitingly for Haaland. The Norwegian's first-time right-foot shot was blocked by Alphonse Areola but he made no mistake at the second attempt as he thumped home with his left foot."
Manchester City beat West Ham 3-0 at the Etihad with Erling Haaland scoring twice and setting up Tijjani Reijnders. Haaland opened the scoring after five minutes and added a second-half goal, narrowly missing a stoppage-time hat-trick. Reijnders finished a move created by Haaland to make it 2-0. The victory was City's fifth successive Premier League win and increased pressure on Arsenal at the top. West Ham produced a lacklustre performance, extended their winless run to six matches, and headed into Christmas inside the relegation zone.
