Rico Lewis Hails Haaland as City's Key Player
Rico Lewis has praised Erling Haaland’s remarkable performance following the striker’s hat-trick that led Manchester City to a 3-1 victory over West Ham.
In an electrifying display at the London Stadium, Haaland scored twice in the first half and completed his hat-trick with a composed finish late in the game. His goals came after Lewis provided a key assist, helping to secure City’s third consecutive win of the season.
Reflecting on Haaland’s impact, Lewis expressed his awe, saying as mancity.com reported, "It’s unbelievable. When he goes through, you’re almost certain he’s going to score." He continued, “That’s something that is helping us every game. When we’re in a tough spot, maybe we need a goal, he’s the man at the moment.”
Lewis, who assisted Haaland’s second goal, acknowledged the striker's knack for scoring in crucial moments. “I just thought I’ll give it to him in the box. Nine times out of ten when he’s got a shot off in there, he’s going to score. So yeah, I’m buzzing with that.”
The victory over West Ham not only highlights Haaland’s importance to the team but also signifies a strong start to the season for Manchester City. Lewis also touched on the team’s positive atmosphere and his own satisfaction with starting three matches in a row.
