City, bidding to win an unprecedented fourth successive English league title, have a maximum 12 points with Spurs on 10 after they demolished Burnley 5-2 at Turf Moor. Everton scored their first goals of the season and gained their first point in a lively 2-2 draw at Sheffield United.Brighton & Hove Albion were at home to Newcastle United in the day's late kickoff.Haaland's latest exploits earned him another record as he became the fastest to 50 goal involvements in the Premier League with 41 goals and nine assists. He reached the milestone in 39 games compared to the 43 it took Andy Cole.
City went ahead in controversial fashion in first-half stoppage time when VAR allowed Ake's header to stand despite Manuel Akanji being in an offside position in front of the keeper and making an effort to get a touch on the ball.Alvarez set up Haaland's first goal in the 58th minute and the Norwegian then buried a penalty after Issa Diop fouled Alvarez. Haaland completed his hat-trick with a first-time finish from a cut-back by Sergio Gomez.
"Once we got to grips with it I think thought we were dominant in just about every area," Postecoglou said.
