The five-goal thriller between Manchester City and Ipswich Town had Erling Haaland kept at the top of his game. The champions proved once again its supremacy and dominant performance under small circumstances, where it didn’t fail to smash past more than three goals. Ipswich Town lacked much experience and got the taste by facing the best team in the Premier League. Erling Haaland is now looking forward to preying on his next opponent with his current form.
However, the game was full of disappointment for Ipswich Town as they didn’t realize the potential danger of the best attack. They took Pep Guardiola’s tactics for granted and got the treatment. However, the game was not only about Haaland but also how his teammates helped him to score the hat-trick, alongside the non-resistant attack of Man City that could not be denied by Ipswich Town. Man City had the higher possession play despite having one goal against their goal.

The goal was shot by none other than Kevin De Bruyne, left by Erling Haaland for him to shoot the ball. 2-1 for Manchester City in the 14th minute.
Before two minutes Savio delivers a wonderful through ball to Haaland, which bamboozles the defense, Muric again makes the mistake by coming forward to make the block which gives an opening for Haaland to score the goal. The lack of awareness between the Ipswich defenders and the goalkeeper makes the job easier for Haaland to score his second goal. 3-1 for Manchester City in the 16th minute. The main mistake of the Ipswich defenders was that they couldn’t mark City’s most lethal attacker.
Under 20 minutes it was already three goals for Manchester City. After a few woodworks, the display of terror from the City’s side was enough to tremble the whole defense of Ipswich Town. The lack of possession and their gameplay showed how City could’ve scored more than six goals. In the 88th minute, while Manchester City had the ball, Erling Haaland shot the ball into the target which rattled past the goalkeeper and completed his hat-trick. 4-1 as Man City won the match.
