Erling Haaland was the star boy of the match, scoring three goals as Manchester City ruthlessly came back from two goals down to beat Crystal Palace 4-2 on Saturday.

With a masterclass performance in the second half and with three goals to complete his side’s comeback, Haaland became the star of the game.

City fell behind just four minutes in before Joachim Andersen doubled Palace’s lead. Bernardo Silva pulled one back early in the second half before the Norwegian stole the show.

After coming from behind to draw 3-3 with Newcastle last week, Pep Guardiola’s team pulled off another stunning comeback in the Premier League. The home fans were nervous for a while but they showed their resilience once again with a strong attacking display to protect their unbeaten start to the season and make it 10 points from four games.

Speculation surrounding Bernardo Silva’s future at City continues to circulate amid reports Barcelona want him. Guardiola has insisted the Portugal star is going nowhere and he showed why he remains so integral to the champions with a fine strike to bring his side back into the game.

The Premier League champions are currently without injured duo Aymeric Laporte and Nathan Ake.

Haaland has now scored six goals in his first four matches in the Premier League, which is level with Sergio Aguero’s club record.
