Manchester City secured their position at the top of the Premier League table with a 3-1 victory over West Ham at home, thanks to Erling Haaland's impressive back-to-back hat-tricks.

"We're thrilled with the win and Haaland's incredible form," said Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola. "He's a phenomenal player who is making a huge impact on our team."

Haaland opened the scoring with an early goal in the 10th minute, followed by an own goal from Ruben Dias just nine minutes later, leveling the game. However, Haaland put Manchester City ahead again in the 30th minute and sealed the victory with his third goal in the 83rd minute.

"Haaland is on fire right now," said Guardiola. "His work rate, finishing, and movement are exceptional. He's a joy to watch."

With seven goals in the Premier League already, Haaland is making a strong case for the Golden Boot award. His impressive form has Manchester City fans excited for the rest of the season.

"We're delighted with the win and Haaland's performance," said Guardiola. "We'll keep working hard and pushing ourselves to improve."
