Manchester City is narrowly winning games, with their recent victory against Brentford being no exception. Erling Haaland, the star player, scored the winning goal, but questions have been raised about his performance after returning from injury. However, his coach has defended him, stating that he always comes through for the team when it matters.
Despite City’s struggles to dominate from the start, their only goal of the match came from Haaland. However, criticism regarding his lack of goals is quickly dismissed by Guardiola, who warns against criticizing top scorers. He emphasizes that Haaland will always be there when it counts. Guardiola also asks for patience, considering the difficult family situation Haaland has been dealing with.
The win against Brentford has propelled Manchester City back to 2nd place in the table, just one point behind leaders Liverpool. This victory has also allowed Haaland to achieve a significant milestone. He has now scored against every Premier League team he has faced, joining the likes of Harry Kane. Haaland’s record of 21 goals against all 21 opponents is impressive, although he still has a long way to go to match Kane’s feat of scoring against 32 different teams. Nonetheless, this achievement is remarkable considering it is only Haaland’s second season in the Premier League.
