Manchester City striker Julian Alvarez is eager to take the goalscoring pressure off Erling Haaland.

Both forwards struck in Sunday's 2-1 win at Fulham.

"It's very important to have such a dangerous forward. I had a lot of confidence in Erling," Alvarez said.

"He takes a lot of our penalties - he's been scoring the majority of our goals this season. We also have a lot of other players who can take them - it's good for everyone to keep getting confident and to continue this good run. It's on the whole team to be able to help throughout every phase of play so we need to keep that going."

With City now sitting top of the table, Alvarez also said: "We're in a great position - this is where we wanted to be at the start of the season.

"Everyone has put in really good work. We've got a lot of confidence. Every game from now on is a final for us so we're going to keep working and focusing on every match to come. We have to defend our lead at the top and everyone is going to pull together."
