MAN CITY 3-1 BOURNEMOUTH -
IAN LADYMAN AT THE ETIHAD: There are those who rather stupidly say that
Pep Guardiola has ruined footb
all and then there are those who open their eyes to watch
Erling Haaland play and realise they would pay to watch him
all on his own.
Haaland -
Guardiola's extraordinary centre forward - did not win this game for
Manchester City by himself. But he did bring it much of its joy and its wonder‚ rampaging through the middle like a bull in a blonde wig‚ turning possibilities into certainties and adding two more goals to a season's t
ally that now stands at 26 for club and country. A reminder here that it is only the start of November. So this was another bravura performance from
City's striker and a victory that takes his team not exactly on to
Arsenal's shoulder in second place but at least close enough for their presence to be definitively felt. If anybody thinks
Arsenal's first
Premier League title since the great days of
Arsene Wenger will be won without inconvenience‚ they are likely to be very wrong indeed.
