Kevin de Bruyne's hat-trick was completed within 24 minutes - the third earliest one has been scored from the start of a match in Premier League history

Kevin de Bruyne chose an even better way of welcoming Erling Haaland to Manchester City as he clinched his first Manchester City hat-trick against Wolves on Wednesday night.

The Belgian after scored the third goal of his magnificent four-goal haul celebrated in style by copying Haaland’s iconic meditation celebration.

It was quite the statement. Just a day after City announced they had agreed to sign the prolific Norway striker from Borussia Dortmund, they hardly looked short of attacking power at Molineux.

Wolves did not even play that badly, yet with De Bruyne at the centre of the storm they were blown away as City won 5-1 and moved to within four points of a fourth Premier League title in five seasons.

They already take some stopping, but everyone inside the stadium and far beyond was left wondering how good they will be once Haaland is on board next season.
