He's only gone and done it again!
Erling Haaland, Premier League Player of the Month. Inevitable, wasn't it.
The Norwegian already tops the goalscoring charts in England's top flight with 10 goals in six games, four clear of nearest challenger Aleksander Mitrovic.
Haaland also needed just four Premier League games to grab his first hat-trick in the competition, scoring three goals in 19 minutes against Crystal Palace.
Of course, he promptly repeated that feat in his next outing against Nottingham Forest as Haaland took the match ball home for the second game in a row as City thrashed the Premier League newcomers 6-0.
So how exactly has he done it so far? Let's take a closer look…
GettyPenalty against West Ham
Haaland bagged a brace on his Premier League debut, with his first goal of the season coming from the penalty spot in a 2-0 win over West Ham at the London Stadium.
The Norway international won the spot-kick himself after being brought down in the area by substitute goalkeeper Alphonse Areola as he raced onto a through-ball from Ilkay Gundogan.
Haaland picked himself up, took the ball and promptly sent the shot-stopper the wrong way with a clinical left-footed finish into the bottom corner.

Haaland then finished off West Ham with his second of the afternoon on 65 minutes.
This time it was Kevin De Bruyne who sent the 22-year-old racing clear of the West Ham backline with a gorgeous defence-splitting pass.
Haaland only had Areola to beat and made it look easy, opening up his body and curling the ball around the goalkeeper and into the back of the net with his left foot.
GettyVolley against Newcastle
Haaland's third goal of the season came in a thrilling 3-3 draw with Newcastle United at St James' Park, as the champions were forced to come from two goals down to salvage a point against the Magpies.
Newcastle were 3-1 up when Haaland struck from a corner just after the hour mark to give his side hope of a comeback.
City took a quick short corner which was worked to De Bruyne. The Belgian lofted a deep ball towards the back post, where Rodri managed to find Haaland just yards from goal
The striker had managed to wander into the six-yard box completely unmarked and smashed home on the volley from close range.
GettyEqualiser against Palace
City had to work hard again the following week after going down 2-0 to Palace in the first half, but Haaland's 19-minute hat-trick against the Eagles sealed a 4-2 victory.
His first of the afternoon made it 2-2 after Bernardo Silva's deflected strike had pulled one back for Pep Guardiola's side.
Phil Foden dinked in an inviting ball in from the left and found Haaland attacking the space at the back post, getting in between Joachim Andersen and Marc Guehi to nod home his first headed goal in the Premier League.
