Pep Guardiola reached yet another coveted landmark as Manchester City posted a 1-0 win over Brentford on Sunday at the Gtech Communnity Stadium.

The Spanish Ballon d’or winner, who missed a majority of last season due to an injury, dropped to the ground before clutching the back of his right knee before walking off gingerly.
“He is injured, he felt something, but hopefully it will not be huge,” Guardiola said touching up on Rodri’s suspected hamstring injury.
City climbed to fifth in the PL table with 13 points from seven outings thus far, which include 4 win, a draw and a couple of defeats in the nascent season.
Haaland’s strike on Sunday served to be his 9th goal in the ongoing season of the English top-flight as the Norwegian forward termed his finish “a proper goal, one of my better goals.”
Haaland, who became a father for the first time in Decembe also credited his son’s influence on him and his game.
“To be honest, with a kid, it makes me even better because I actually disconnect more than ever. I don’t think of football at all,” the striker said.
