Erling Haaland delivered a masterclass with a stunning hat-trick as Manchester City cruised to a dominant 4-1 victory over Tottenham.<\/p>

Despite a bright start from the hosts, City\u2019s clinical finishing proved too much to handle. Ange Postecoglou\u2019s side enjoyed spells of possession but struggled to break down a rock-solid City defense, with Ederson rarely tested between the sticks.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
