Pep Guardiola spoke about the win over Bournemouth and said on BBC Radio 5 Live:
"Bournemouth played an outstanding game. Last season, they destroyed us. You have to match their duels; otherwise, you only have to look at what happened in the second half. We lost three or four balls and they can kill you. They are incredible. It is no surprise for me what they did last season. They lost three of their four defenders and they are still up there."
Talking about Haaland, he added:
"We are so blessed and lucky to have, first of all, an incredible person because he is the sweetest and kindest person. He will keep improving. And, after that, as a player his numbers are just outstanding."
Manchester City moved to second in the Premier League table, sitting just six points behind leaders Arsenal.
