Pep Guardiola Surpasses Sir Alex Ferguson with Erling Haaland’s Hat-Trick in City Victory

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has made Premier League history following his side’s resounding 3-1 victory over West Ham.

Guardiola’s triumph in this match not only extended his unbeaten streak against the Hammers to 17 games but also saw him eclipse the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson’s long-standing record.

Erling Haaland was the star of the show, delivering a remarkable hat-trick that included a sensational strike that nearly tore the net apart.

This latest performance means Haaland has now achieved back-to-back trebles and has set a new Premier League record.

With his three goals against West Ham, the Norwegian striker has scored seven goals in his first three league games, the most by any player in history.

Overall, Haaland has netted 70 times in just 69 league appearances, highlighting his extraordinary prowess in front of goal.

Before the match at the London Stadium, Guardiola boasted a record of 14 wins and two draws against West Ham. His dominance was further emphasized by a commanding performance that showcased Manchester City’s relentless attacking style.

Despite a valiant effort from West Ham’s Alphonse Areola, who made several crucial saves—including one to deny Kevin De Bruyne—a spirited West Ham side could not withstand the onslaught.

The victory also had significant implications for the Premier League standings. Manchester City’s win propelled them back to the top of the table, following Arsenal’s missed opportunity to take the lead after their 1-1 draw with Brighton.

The match was marred by controversy as Declan Rice received a red card for two bookable offences, including a dismissal for kicking the ball away to prevent a quick free-kick.

As Liverpool prepare to face Manchester United at Old Trafford, the only remaining team that could potentially disrupt City’s position at the summit is Jurgen Klopp’s side.

Liverpool would need a three-goal margin to usurp the reigning champions.
