Pep Guardiola said Erling Haaland had an impossible task against Bournemouth, praising his ability to get an assist on his home Manchester City debut.
Haaland used his strength to hold off two defenders and play in Ilkay Gundogan to open the scoring for City, and then pressured his centre-back to help the ball drop to Rodri to start the move for City's second goal. However, he couldn't follow up on his brace at West Ham and was substituted in the second half.
After the game, Guardiola said he was more than happy with Haaland's performance, pointing to the five defenders he had to deal with from Bournemouth.
