Managers Reaction
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola: “We make not a good first half, we wanted to attack too quick. When they were playing better, we scored the second one with a brilliant action from Phil. After that, it was easy. I think his [Haaland] numbers across his career, not just here, is quite similar. So he has an incredible sense of goal. We have incredible numbers in scoring goals, so we want to continue like that. Another battle next Saturday against Tottenham, so hopefully he can continue scoring goals.”
Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne: “I try to do my job, make the right movements and create as many chances as I can. I know one way or the other Erling is going to be there. For the moment, he’s scoring the goals and that helps us win games. It’s a perfect start for him. I think the way he has adapted to us is really good. Outside the goalscoring, there is still another part of the game and I think that part is maybe tougher to adapt to.”
