Erling Haaland has been named the Premier League Player of the Month for August after scoring seven goals in three games, including two hat-tricks. This marks the third time Haaland has won the award. Despite the recent death of a close friend, Haaland decided to play in Manchester City's match against Brentford. Brentford took an early lead with a goal by Yoane Wissa just 22 seconds into the game. Haaland equalized for Manchester City, and later scored another goal to secure a 2-1 lead by halftime. This brings Haaland's total to nine goals in four Premier League matches, making him the first player to achieve this feat in the league's history. Manchester City ultimately won the match 2-1, maintaining their perfect start to the season with four consecutive wins.
