Pep Guardiola has challenged Erling Haaland to become a Manchester City legend after the Norway striker's second successive hat-trick inspired a 6-0 rout of Nottingham Forest on Wednesday. Haaland struck three times in the opening 38 minutes as rampant City overwhelmed Forest. He has scored nine goals in five league games since joining City from Borussia Dortmund -- a record.
