Haaland hits hat-trick to take Man City top, Son treble inspires Spurs

MANCHESTER, Sept 3 — Erling Haaland scored a hat-trick as Manchester City maintained their perfect Premier League start with a 5-1 thrashing of Fulham on Saturday, as Son Heung-min also netted three times in Tottenham’s 5-2 victory at Burnley.

The home side had not had a shot on target until Julian Alvarez turned home Haaland’s cross to open the scoring on 31 minutes.City needed a set-piece of their own to restore the lead in controversial circumstances. Son, who was moved into a more central role by Postecoglou in place of Richarlison, soon proved his manager had pulled off another masterstroke.

“I’m the captain, but I have great players around me,” said Son, who was handed the armband when Harry Kane departed for Bayern Munich. Anthony Elanga slotted home three minutes into the second-half after Caicedo gave the ball away inside his own half.
