Team-mate full of praise for striker Haaland - a man at the top of his game

The City forward has nine goals from his opening four Premier League games more than anyone has ever managed in the history of the competition - and that form is fuelling all-round performances.

Pep Guardiola has praised him for tracking back and pressing in the opening weeks and that continued in the 2-1 win over Brentford.

Haaland's goalscoring record is remarkable in the context of others but in line with his own career; he has scored at a rate of a goal a game for City, Dortmund and RB Salzburg.

Nevertheless, this year still feels different even for someone such as Manuel Akanji, who has seen him up close with both Dortmund and City.
