Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has praised the calmness of his star striker Erling Haaland.

The Spanish head coach believes that Haaland copes well with the pressure of the high expectations on him.

The forward has nine goals in their opening nine Premier League games of the season.

The expectations are so high but he handles it really well," Guardiola told reporters after a 2-1 win over Brighton.

He knows he could have scored even more goals in the first nine Premier League games.

The Treble had a lot of influence on all of us, me included. We need to be there close and arrive in the final decisive months close to our opponents to try again.

No one has won four in a row ever so that's how difficult it is. In this period, you have to go through Champions League and qualify.

After Young Boys at home hopefully we can be there and then just focus on Premier League, Premier League, Premier League and that is the target.

We cannot deny after two defeats in a row to break that position it was really important."
