Is there a striker who can surpass Elling Holan in the English Premier League.
Manchester City won three consecutive league games by winning 3-1 in the third round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season against West Ham United at London Stadium in London at 1:30 a.m. on the 1st (Korea time).
On this day, Manchester City chose the 3-2-4-1 formation with Holan at the center. Jack Grealish and Jeremy Doku take the left and right sides, while Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardou Silva moved in half-space. Matteo Kovacic and Rico Lewis worked together in the midfield. Josuko Gvardiol, Hoobeng Dias and Manuel Akanji made up the 300. Ederson Moraes defended the goal unchanged.

Holan scored his first shot six minutes into the game. Silva came into the penalty box from the left and handed over the cross. Holan was able to try the header in a relaxed situation, but the header headed over the net as if it was in a hurry.
There was no mercy on Holan twice. Silva intercepted West Ham's rather complacent rear build-up in the 10th minute. Silva quickly handed over to Holan. Holan scored the first goal with a light finish while being checked by two centre-backs. It was Holan's fifth league goal in three league games.
Manchester City aimed for an extra goal with a surprise shot from The Bruyne from a corner three minutes later. Five minutes later, The Bruyne's regret grew as a shot from the front of the penalty box hit the post.

Manchester City was taking the offensive well, but in the 19th minute of the first half, Jarrod Bowen's cross from the right hit Díaz and gave up his own goal.
He could end up upsetting the situation. However, Manchester City had a monster. In the 30th minute of the first half, Grealish started hitting from the left. Holan received the pass after Silva, Kovacic and Lewis. Holan scored his sixth goal in the league with a cannonball shot as soon as he caught it.

In the second half, West Ham also took the reins of the attack. The counterattack in the 7th minute of the second half was crucial. Mohamed Qudus peeled off two defenders with his personal ability in the counterattack and delivered it to Bowen. Bowen sent it back to Kudus. Kudus' powerful shot hit the Manchester City post.
In the 38th minute of the second half, when Manchester City continued to lead with no confidence, Holan came out to finish the game. Matheus Núñez, who came in as a substitute, put a penetrating pass on Holan. Holan saw goalkeeper Ukasi Fabianski come out and completed a hat trick with a chip shot. Holan scored his seventh goal in three league games. He continues his monstrous scoring ability by scoring hat tricks in two consecutive games.

Holan glared as far as 'Portrick' while the game was over. He tried to shoot after overcoming the competition with the defender, but Fabianski did not allow up to four goals. Man City won with a hat-trick from Holan.
After the game, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said there was no stopping Holan. Even with a gun, there is no center back to stop Holan. He's playing a lot better in every way. I always train for another 20-30 minutes even after training is over,' he joked and mixed rave reviews.
Guardiola said: "Last season, Holan was not feeling well and did not do any extra training. Because I was always tired. I'm staying and training more this season. Holan is very smart. He needs a team. The team that can give Holan more passes in the Final ThirdHolan is in the best shape, he said.

Also "Holan always scores goals and that's what he has to do. We are happy with the other hat-trick, the performance we showed at the end, but we also participated in the game. I didn't lose the ball, and I played unbelievable defensively and offensively when I didn't have the ball," he said, leaving only a compliment.
Holan's scoring ability now is faster than in the 2022-2023 season, when everyone was surprised. Holan, who reached the league's 36 goals mark for the first time in EPL history, scored six goals in his first three league games since his transfer. There are seven goals this season. The figure is more than two goals per game.

Holan forewarned that he could show such a good performance. He was so good because he had the longest break since 2017 during the last pre-season tour of the United States. My body rested perfectly, and I was ready. It's a really amazing feeling. I needed a break. Because I was quite tired. This year is going to be a very long season"I will do my best in my best physical condition," he said.
Holan is elevating that commitment to scoring ability. Even the third round of the league is not over yet, but it feels like the league's top scorer competition is virtually over. Injuries seem to be the only variable that can prevent Holan. Even if he is injured, he seems to be the top scorer if he does not miss many games. Holan was the top scorer in the league even though he suffered both poor performance and injury last season.

It will be certain after the third round, but Mohamed Salah, Son Heung-min, Cole Palmer, Alexander Isaac and Ollie Watkins, who are currently top scorer competitors, are far apart from Holan. Holan's momentum is so powerful that the competition itself is meaningless. If Holan maintains his current momentum, the top scorer is already a reserved seat.
For the third consecutive season, Holan is challenging himself as the top scorer in the EPL. Until now, only Alan Shearer and Thierry Henry have been the top scorers for three consecutive seasons in EPL history. One is called the highest scorer in EPL history and the other is called the best player in EPL history. Holan may be on par with them in three seasons.
