Hat-trick for Erling Haaland and usual cynicism in front of goal in Manchester City’s 5-1 win over Fulham. At the end of the match, the Norwegian striker spoke like this:
“I’m back, no problem for me. I’m always hungry, it’s a new season and I’m ready. We started a bit late and in a somewhat sloppy way because we played until the end of last season as we are the best club. We will always improve.”
Two jokes on the microphones of the official Premier League channel about Pep Guardiola, who has been absent from the bench after back surgery: “I think we miss him, we sometimes miss him too, so we can’t wait to bring him back with us.”
