Erling Haaland: Pep Guardiola claims 'no one can compete' with Manchester City star

Pep Guardiola claims Erling Haaland is beyond compare and even better than the statistics suggest.

The Norwegian has made a stunning start at Manchester City, scoring 17 goals in just 11 appearances since his summer move from Borussia Dortmund.

His hat-trick against Manchester United on Sunday was remarkably his third in successive home Premier League games.

Manager Guardiola said: “At his age no one can compete with him. The numbers speak for themselves and inside, in the locker room, and on the pitch we see things that are not in the stats."

No disrespect to penalty takers, the admirable thing about Haa9 is that he does not need penalty to add up his goal tally.

If Foden, Grealish, Alvarez and other player want to make goal is easy....must give Haaland make fast goals in 45
