Pep Guardiola expressed his satisfaction with Erling Haaland's impressive form, as the striker has scored nine goals in just four games this season, bringing his total to 99 goals in 103 appearances for Manchester City. Guardiola indicated that even if Haaland maintains his scoring rate without improvement, he would be pleased. Former defender William Gallas praised Haaland as a 'beast' capable of breaking Premier League records this season. Haaland recently played through personal grief, scoring two goals in a 2-1 comeback win over Brentford after the death of a close family friend, with Guardiola highlighting the team's strong camaraderie during difficult times. Despite Brentford's strong start, City managed to secure the win, showcasing Haaland's critical role as an 'incredible weapon' for the team. Guardiola acknowledged Brentford's quality and the challenges they presented during the match.
