Pep ‘honoured’ to gain 250th Premier League win
Pep Guardiola was thankful his Manchester City team has Erling Haaland scoring goals and Gianluigi Donnarumma stopping them after victory at Brentford came at the cost of another Rodri injury.
“I have an incredible striker and keeper,” Guardiola said, the Norwegian’s ninth-minute goal proving the winner. Haaland’s form is reaching the levels of City’s 2022-23 treble season, the No 9 scoring in a ninth consecutive game. “He’s the best,” said his manager. “The year of the treble, he scored – what? – 50 million goals? I think he’s part of the club now, he’s settled. He feels now that it’s mine.”
