Erling Haaland has been named the EA SPORTS Player of the Month for August 2024 after an incredible start to the season with Manchester City.
Haaland’s seven goals in just three Premier League appearances set a new record for the most goals scored by a player in their team’s first three matches of a campaign.
His impressive tally included back-to-back hat-tricks against Ipswich Town and West Ham United, along with a goal against Chelsea, propelling City to three consecutive wins.
Haaland’s achievement also made him the first player since Paul Jewell in 1994/95 to score hat-tricks in two of a team’s first three league matches in a season.
Expressing his gratitude, Haaland said, “I am delighted to have won this award so early in the season. I am also very grateful to my teammates, the coaches, and staff for helping to make it happen. August was a brilliant month for the team, and I am proud to have played an important part in that.”
At 24, Haaland has now won the Player of the Month award three times, having also claimed it in August 2022 and April 2023.
Meanwhile, Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya has been awarded the Premier League Save of the Month for August 2024.
