The highly productive Norwegian forward added another hat-trick to his repertoire following the match against Luton Town in the FA Cup fifth round. He scored five times during that game, contributing significantly to City’s commanding 6-2 victory at Kenilworth Road.

With this latest achievement, Haaland has now accumulated a remarkable 20 hat-tricks in his professional career, despite being just 23 years old. He has consistently delivered three-goal performances for City, tallying five in the Premier League alone. Notably, he ensures that his teammates leave their mark on each match ball he collects.

Some individuals at the Etihad Stadium have light-heartedly teased Haaland about his growing collection of balls, with one teammate humorously scribbling “too many now” on the ball awarded after his dominant showing against Luton.

Haaland, who netted 52 goals across all competitions last season, has already scored 27 goals in the current campaign. He aims to continue providing attacking prowess and inspiration as City prepare to face their arch-rivals Manchester United in an eagerly anticipated derby clash on Sunday.
