Manchester City is back on top of the English Premier League table after thrashing Fulham 5-1 this morning.

Goal-scoring machine Erling Haaland bagged his fifth Premier League hat-trick as the champions maintained their 100% start to the season.

Haaland, who scored four league hat-tricks in a record-shattering first season with City, is already in the groove and his triple against Fulham took his season’s goal tally to six.
