Shortly before the end of the game a few of us were discussing whether Rico or Kev was MotM and out of nothing Erl smashes in his third and we all went, oh well that settles it, it’s Haaland.
If someone gets a hat trick then I need a very, very good reason not to vote for them as MotM and as delightful as Rico’s performance was, it wasn’t enough to get my vote but his performance was the most pleasing aspect of the game, aside from the win.
