The Norwegian also opened up his lead in the battle for the Golden Boot, scoring a first-half hat-trick including his two spot-kicks either side of a header.

Hwang Hee-chan pulled a goal back for Wolves - who were without manager Gary O'Neil, who was serving a one-match touchline ban - but Haaland got his fourth a minute later, with substitute Julian Alvarez adding a fifth late on.
