The Norwegian striker got the first goal chance after twenty minutes of the match, but his attempt at the front post was deflected by Sá. The Citizens took the lead at the end of the first half, when Haaland pounced on De Bruyne’s cross and opened the scoring with a header.
At the beginning of the second half, Haaland made it two more times. In the 49th minute, he added from a penalty kick. Five minutes later, after a mistake by goalkeeper Saa, Mahriz won the ball, who presented the ball to Haaland, who cleared it into the open goal. With his goal rate, the 22-year-old Norwegian surpassed all winners of the Premier League golden boot in the last four seasons.
Leeds had chances to score in the second half, but both Rodrigo’s shot in the 56th minute and Gnont’s effort twelve minutes later were saved by Brentford keeper Ray.
