How many hat-tricks has Haaland scored in Premier League? Where is he on all-time list?

Saturday saw Manchester City go a goal down to promoted side Ipswich Town after just seven minutes before thundering back to win 4-1 in the second matchweek of the 2024-25 Premier League. And there was little surprise that main man Erling Haaland emerged as the key player for Pep Guardiola’s team, scoring yet another hat-trick in the English top flight. The Norwegian striker is closing in on Thierry Henry and has his sights set on Sergio ‘Kun’ Agüero in the all-time hat-trick list.

Haaland hits seventh Premier League hat-trick

The Citizens’ No. 9 has now reached seven hat-tricks in the Premier League, just one shy of matching the legendary Frenchman who played for Arsenal. Additionally, the record for the most hat-tricks by a foreign striker is held by the iconic Argentine forward, who netted 12 during his time with the Sky Blues. Agüero also tops the overall list, including English players.

Haaland’s goal-scoring pace in the English top division is even more remarkable when considering the number of matches played so far. The Norwegian international has played 68 EPL matches, while Henry reached his tally over 258 games and Agüero across 275 appearances. Haaland averages a hat-trick in England roughly every 10 matches. It’s truly sensational!
