Haaland on his hat-trick against West Ham: «I liked all the goals, but the second one was particularly beautiful»

Manchester City forward Erling Haaland has commented on his hat-trick in the 3-1 victory over West Ham during the third round of the Premier League.

«Three points are the most important thing. I feel good and full of energy. There was a long break and pre-season training. I feel fantastic. The years spent here have flown by. I took some time to rest, and my body and legs are fine. Now I'm ready for more.

I really liked the second goal. I appreciate all the goals, but the second was beautiful. A great pass from Rico and a perfect strike first-time. It was a brilliant finish. It feels good to release some energy.

I've played this way my entire life. West Ham needed a goal, they started to push up. For me, it was a natural situation, and I didn’t go offside. I haven’t practiced this for many years.

Three games, nine points, it’s a great start. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, as there may be another 70 games ahead this season. We’ll take it step by step,» Haaland told Sky Sports.
