Pep Guardiola took the opportunity to take Erling Haaland off at half-time with their Champions League game already won against FC Copenhagen.
"This is the secret of this team, the work ethic. "He plays a lot of minutes, the game was under control and Cole Palmer is an excellent player and was looking forward to playing. It's already an excellent result and better performance than we played in [a while]. However, he rejected the notion that it was simply for rest as he talked up the importance of his squad. The No.9 ran a lap of honour around the stadium after the match to dispel any worries over his fitness. "Today I put the best selection to win the game because we need the players in this tight schedule.
The Norwegian has been on fire since arriving in the summer from Borussia Dortmund, with a brace against Copenhagen taking his tally to 19 in 12 games.
But Haaland will have the chance to take Mesi's record under Guardiola outright when City welcome Southampton to the Etihad on Saturday. That brace - the first a ferocious, lashed effort and the second an instinctive tap-in - saw the 22-year-old match Lionel Messi for the longest scoring run under Pep Guardiola’s management. He is breaking all kinds of records and sure enough another one was ticked off against the Danish champions in his action-packed 45-minute cameo.

It's early October. And yet Erling Braut Haaland already has 19 goals for the season, 14 in the Premier League and five in Europe. He's scored these 19 goals in ...
This extends right through to the architecture of the club. He tells us that this is a side built on an unusual sense of the collective, even to the point where the players are free - and actively encouraged - to tell their manager where he's going wrong. The men’s and women’s teams of all ages train on the first-team pitch and are all permanently based at the stadium. And of all the accolades and trophies coming his way, none will compare to that. The average age of the first XI in the league last season was 20.7 and 33-year-old Kian Hansen started 25 matches. Beyond the actual results, last night's edition of the Champions League turned into a self-contained Goal of the Week competition. Liberated by Chelsea's switch to a back three, he took clear and total possession of the entire right flank, managing to score one, make another, and keep Rafael Leao quiet for almost the entire game. And the key point of that blueprint? As a neutral, Haaland's compelling, in the same sort of way a video of a tree falling over is compelling. He contains both parts of the ideal striking partnership: the earth-shaking presence of the big man and the snaffling goal sense of the little man. Chelsea moved the ball quickly, threatened from all angles, and over the course of the evening they essentially overpowered Milan. At that point, we'll all be able to make a round of Halloween jokes - oh no, Guardiola was the scientist; this is Guardiola's Monster - but after that, we've got a serious problem.

My operation on Tuesday was a success and now I can concentrate on my rehab and getting back to full fitness. I will be supporting my team mates every day in any way I can."

Will Man City striker Erling Haaland smash the all-time Premier League Golden Boot goal record of 32 goals in a 38-game season set by Mohamed Salah in 2018?
If rested in Copenhagen, he can focus on the Premier League for much of October. This does not feel like a hot streak, just the inevitable result of ice-cold finishing and a talent for the ages. The striker's current goal-rate sets him on course to finish the season on 108 goals in all competitions - if he were to maintain his strike-rate, game time and reach all finals. Domestically, we are already reaching beyond the Premier League for comparisons. but, the Norwegian is clearly set to break more records - and there is a growing sense he will rewrite the record scales entirely. There were no cheers but that was it - his second pass of the night. A coach who has built his success on a passing game now boasts the world's most formidable forward and yet he hardly passes the ball at all. Will Man City striker Erling Haaland smash the all-time Premier League Golden Boot goal record of 32 goals in a 38-game season set by Mohamed Salah in 2018? Play for free, entries by 3pm Saturday.

"He is one step forward from the other [academy players]. There are hints of both Grealish and Foden in his play, and all three have rare talent. But for now he’ll be limited to fleeting cameos for his club. He would surely thrive alongside the team’s big hitters such as Haaland, João Cancelo, and Kevin De Bruyne. “A top-class player, and he was looking forward to playing.” More appearances for City, and more displays of a skillset which combines inventiveness, flair, creativity, and at 6 foot 2, a considerable physical presence, will surely lead to the next step at international level.
Erling Haaland has praised his teammates for their role in his incredible start to life at Manchester City.
"I thought it would be hard work but I also knew that the players have been playing together for many years. I was coming into a team that scored a 100 goals last year so for me it was about coming in to the team to do what I do best." You never know.

On current form and without a World Cup on his schedule, Norwegian striker can aim for surreal goalscoring targets.
But his longest periods of recuperation at Dortmund were never longer than the seven-game stretch he was absent with a hip problem last autumn. That’s one for every 72 minutes he was on the pitch. Haaland, it bears reminding, is still only 22, and his record with injury is encouraging. At that point, Kamil Grabara, the luckless visiting goalkeeper, could no longer disguise his exasperation. And up. The strong word is that Ralph Hassenhuttl’s number is almost up at Southampton.
Erling Haaland will have his eye on Premier League and European records after his superb start, but should Cristiano Ronaldo and Alan Shearer worry?
