Haaland Scores Three Goals in City's Crushing Victory Over Fulham

Erling Haaland scored three goals as Manchester City triumphed 5-1 over Fulham, maintaining a perfect record in the Premier League on Saturday. Julian Alvarez and Nathan Ake also scored for the defending champions, who have won their last 15 encounters against Fulham in the league and are at the top of the standings with 12 points from four matches. Fulham, who equalized at 1-1 through Tim Ream, has four points from four matches. Haaland became the fastest player to contribute to 50 goals in the Premier League, with 43 goals and nine assists in just 39 matches. One of the most controversial moments came with Ake's goal just before halftime, which appeared to be in danger of being ruled out due to his teammate Manuel Akanji being in an offside position in front of Fulham's goalkeeper Bernd Leno, but the goal was awarded after a review by the Video Assistant Referee.
