Haaland's clinical finish made it 3-1 just before the hour mark, and he later converted a penalty to complete his hat-trick. In injury time, Haaland sealed the victory with another goal, securing another win for manager Pep Guardiola, who is currently recovering from back surgery.

Meanwhile, in another surprising result, Nottingham Forest shocked Chelsea with a 1-0 victory at Stamford Bridge. Anthony Elanga came off the bench to score the only goal of the game, taking advantage of a mistake from Moises Caicedo. Despite Chelsea's efforts to equalize, Forest held on for the win, earning their first victory against a top-six club this season.

In another Premier League match, Brentford and Bournemouth played out an entertaining 2-2 draw. Mathias Jansen opened the scoring for Brentford, but Dominic Solanke and David Brooks quickly turned the game around for Bournemouth. However, Bryan Mbeumo scored a late equalizer to salvage a point for Brentford.

These results highlight the unpredictable nature of the Premier League, where any team can cause an upset on any given day. It also showcases the talent and resilience of players like Erling Haaland, who can single-handedly turn a game around with their goal-scoring prowess. As the season progresses, it will be interesting to see how these teams fare and if they can maintain their momentum.
