		  MAN CITY 3-1 BOURNEMOUTH - 
IAN LADYMAN AT THE ETIHAD: There are those who rather stupidly say that 
Pep Guardiola has ruined football 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 tally 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.
