“Monster Striker” Elling Holan (Manchester City) exploded his eighth hat trick in the English professional football Premier League (EPL) and swept seven goals in three games in the opening of this season.
Manchester City (Man City), where Holan plays, beat West Ham United 3-1 in the third round of the 2024-2025 EPL at London Stadium on the 31st (local time) to win its opening three consecutive games.
Holan, who opened the scoring 10 minutes into the game, scored another goal in the 30th minute of the first half and completed a Gearco hat trick in the 38th minute of the second half.
He kicked all three of his goals with his left foot, which he mostly uses. He also finished in various ways. After targeting the back space of defense, Holan calmly scored the first goal and aimed his second goal at the top corner of the net with a powerful shot.
In the scene where he completed the hat trick, he beat all the defense with his signature focus and scored by slightly raising the ball in front of the forward goalkeeper.
West Ham followed one goal in the 19th minute thanks to Huweng Díaz’s own goal, but they later lost points to Holan and bowed their heads.
Following the previous match against Ipswich (three goals), Holan scored a number of goals in two consecutive matches, marking the 11th career hat trick for Manchester City. It was his eighth hat trick in the EPL.
The player with the most hat tricks in the EPL is Sergio Aguero (12 times), a senior Manchester City striker.
Holan jumped from Wayne Rooney of the Manchester United and matched Thierry Henry, Michael Owen (retired) and Harry Kane (Bayern Munich). They tied for fourth.
The match against West Ham marked the 102nd official match in which Holan played for Manchester City, and Holan scored 97 goals. Looking at the EPL alone, Holan scored 70 goals in 69 matches.
Having scored from the opening match with Chelsea, Holan has scored seven goals in three matches of the EPL this season, and has been the top scorer from the beginning. If Holan becomes the top scorer this season, he will win the title for three consecutive seasons.
According to the Guardian, Coach Pep Guardiola said after the match, “You can deliver more balls to Holan in the final third (offensive area). That’s what Holan wants from his team,” adding, “He is unstoppable.”
“Even if the center back has a gun, Holan can’t be stopped,” Guardiola said, adding that Holan has grown from last season and is in better shape.
Manchester City, led by Guardiola and highly active by Holan, is considered the best team in EPL history in name and reality.메이저사이트
