# Manchester City Secure 3-0 Away Win with Haaland's Five-Consecutive Round Goal

Manchester City produced a commanding display as they secured a 3-0 victory over Bournemouth in a thrilling Premier League encounter. The match was highlighted by a historic performance from Norwegian striker Erling Haaland, who became the first player in English top-flight history to score five goals in five consecutive rounds, capping off an incredible hat-trick.

The game started with both sides probing for an early goal. City’s dominance was evident from the first whistle, and they broke the deadlock in the 25th minute through a well-taken goal by Haaland, who converted a cross from fellow newcomer Mateo Cottam. Bournemouth responded well, with striker Dominic Solanke testing City’s defense, but the visitors held firm.

In the 37th minute, Haaland doubled his tally with a clinical finish, this time from a perfectly weighted cross by winger Alex Scott. The floodgates opened in the second half when Bournemouth’s defense unravelled. Just five minutes after the interval, Haaland completed his hat-trick with a powerful strike from outside the box, leaving the traveling fans in awe.

The match turned into a showcase for Haaland’s remarkable ability, as he became the fastest player to reach 10 Premier League goals in just his sixth appearance. His fifth goal of the match came in the 74th minute, a stunning overhead kick that left Bournemouth goalkeeper Mark Travers with no chance.

Despite Bournemouth’s late pressure, City’s defense stood firm, ensuring a clean sheet. The result extended Manchester City’s impressive streak and showcased their title credentials once again. Manager Pep Guardiola praised Haaland’s performance, stating, “Erling is incredible. He’s changing the game for us. His work rate and composure are unmatched.”

Meanwhile, Haaland himself downplayed his historic achievement, focusing on the team’s collective effort. “It’s just one game,” he said modestly. “We’ve got a lot of matches ahead, and we need to keep pushing.”

This victory not only solidified Manchester City’s position at the top of the table but also reignited hopes for a successful title defense. With Haaland in scintillating form, the sky is the limit for this sensational City side.
