With another 7 home matches left in the season, Haaland has smashed the record and is destined to achieve greater heights come the season-ender in May.

This broke the record previously held by Manchester United’s Van Nistelrooy, who scored 4 hat-tricks in 65 appearances.
During this process, Haaland even surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo’s record of 3 hat-tricks in Premier League history.
