Premier League News
Pep Guardiola loves what he's seeing from Erling Haaland after two more goals in Manchester City's win over Bournemouth.
Every team needs a striker to be in top form, and if Manchester City are going to win the Premier League, they will need to get the best out of Erling Haaland.
Don Hutchison believes "there's no reason" why Manchester City shouldn't consider themselves title challengers to Arsenal following their 3-1 win over Bournemouth.
Re-live all of Sunday's soccer action across Europe, with West Ham beating Newcastle, Man City moving up to second place, and Barcelona beating Elche.
Pep Guardiola said Erling Haaland has now reached the same level as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo with his goalscoring after helping Manchester City beat Bournemouth 3-1.
