""I'm so old, and the players don't respect me! They don't have to treat their manager in that way," joked Guardiola. "It only happens in this league. We played a fantastic game. Listen, there were some really positive things in what we have done. To come here, to score five goals, and the way we played in that first half. In the end, it was a question of character, resilience and defence. They did what they had to do. Of course, I was concerned. But this will help""
""It's incredible, impressive," Guardiola told Match of the Day when asked about Haaland. "He was outstanding. He was unbelievable. He made a fantastic goal. Hopefully, he's starving hungry to continue with this club to make more and more goals.""
Erling Haaland reached 100 Premier League goals in 111 games during Manchester City's 5-4 win at Fulham, scoring the opener and assisting two further goals. The 25-year-old overtook Alan Shearer's fastest-to-100 record of 124 games. Pep Guardiola described Haaland's milestone as "incredible" and "impressive", praised his performance and expressed hope for more goals. Guardiola extended his perfect Premier League record against Fulham to 11 wins from 11 meetings. Fulham nearly fought back from 5-1 down late on, with Josko Gvardiol clearing a stoppage-time attempt off the line. Guardiola credited his players' character, resilience and defensive work despite late concern.
