MANCHESTER, England -- Erling Haaland is the best player in the world right now, and he has transformed Manchester City from a great team into one that is capable of blowing everyone else away this season.
Just ask Manchester United, beaten 6-3 at the Etihad on Sunday, following another Haaland hat trick for Pep Guardiola's team.
Phil Foden also scored a hat trick on a remarkable day for City, but the star of the show once again was Haaland, the £51 million summer signing from Borussia Dortmund, who is rampaging through Premier League defences like a teenager playing against 9-year-olds.
