After the match, Guardiola lauded Haaland’s impact. “He’s a born goalscorer,” said the City manager. “He knows where the goal is and he has the ability to finish. He came on and made the difference.” Haaland, who now has 17 goals in 14 Premier League appearances, played down his own contribution. “It was a great team performance,” he said. “We worked hard and deserved the win. We showed our character and determination.” The victory was a testament to the depth and quality of the Manchester City squad.
