"We made a step back, possession is not usually an issue. Not with the ball though, we played too risky. "It was a difficult game, we made it easy by scoring early and then we controlled. I am not unhappy with the effort and bravery we showed. Last season we suffered a lot against them but today we were much better," City boss Pep Guardiola said. [Riyad Mahrez](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/163940/Riyad-Mahrez) made it three early in the second half before Haaland scored his customary goal to make it four.

Haaland scores again as Man City rolls; Chelsea shuts out Wolves (Sportsnet.ca)

With Manchester City easing toward another big Premier League victory, the only question still lingering an hour into the game was whether Erling Haaland ...

Newcastle climbed provisionally up to fifth place with a 5-1 win over Brentford. Haaland has been in such prolific form that going without a goal for more than 60 minutes is enough to raise eyebrows these days. He has been held scoreless in just one match all season.

And Ryan Christie completed Bournemouth's comeback in the 71st minute with a close-range finish after Dominic Solanke flicked on Billing's cross. But Bournemouth equalised in the 67th minute through Philip Billing, who volleyed into the roof of the net following a mistake from Wout Faes. Armando Broja grabbed his first goal for Chelsea with a 20-yard drive in the 90th minute. After their spluttering form at the end of Tuchel's reign, Chelsea are up to fourth place, although Brighton would go back above them with a win against Tottenham in Saturday's late game. Christian Pulisic put Chelsea in complete control with a cute finish after exchanging passes with Mount in the 54th minute. Riyad Mahrez put the result beyond doubt in the 49th minute, the Algeria winger meeting Rodri's cross with a clinical volley from a tight angle.

Brighton boss makes Pep Guardiola admission as Man City ... (Manchester Evening News)

New Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi has labelled Pep Guardiola the "best coach of all time'" in an interview that could see the Manchester City manager's ...

I have my idea. I have my style. for me he is the best coach of all time. With Potter no longer in charge at the Amex Stadium, it looked like the City-Brighton friendship was well and truly over. That created the image of a good relationship between the two clubs, although recent events looked to have damaged that. The Marc Cucurella transfer saga frustrated City bosses, who could not understand why Brighton never informed them of a definite price tag.

Pep Guardiola's tantrum and other moments missed from Man City ... (Manchester Evening News)

Manchester City thrashed Southampton 4-0 on Saturday as Erling Haaland got on the scoresheet once again.

City were 4-0 up against Southampton and the game was well wrapped up when Ederson, under no real pressure on the ball, spooned a clearance straight out of play. Not only did he look comfortable, aware of pressure and accurate with his passing, he looked like he'd been playing in that team for years. However, it was Akanji who played 'out of position' at right-back, allowing Cancelo to stay on the left. They could well do in the upcoming trips to Copenhagen and Liverpool, as both are likely to be more open, end-to-end contests. But City encountered few issues in breaking down a side they failed to beat in the league last season, with their biggest concern being the threat of Erling Haaland's scoring run coming to an end. When City's starting XI was announced an hour before kick-off, it was perhaps the first time that many City fans felt disappointed to not see Jack Grealish's name.

Manchester City vs. Southampton: 4-0 ease to victory (Man City Square)

Manchester City ease to a 4-0 Premier League victory at home to Southampton, with goals from Cancelo, Foden, Mahrez and Haaland.

City played the rest of the game with complete control which allowed more minutes for another academy youngster, Rico Lewis, coming on for Silva. There were plenty of chances from the minute the game kicked off, with Cancelo, Mahrez, Foden and Haaland all getting in on the action. Manchester City welcomed the Saints to the Etihad this Saturday in their 9th Premier League battle of the season. Nevertheless, to come on with the game already won is not an easy task. Mere minutes into the second half, City bagged their 3rd through a Mahrez volley at the back post. City went 2-0 up 12 minutes later and the young star boy, Foden, was involved again.

Former Man City star Micah Richards thanks Manchester United ... (Manchester Evening News)

Richards got his Manchester City break at 17, but he needed some advice from a Man United legend to keep him on the right path.

I made sure, from that point on, that my future and my family’s future was secure — and I bought my parents a house." It had cost me a fortune and I was keen to show it off,” explained Richards in a section of his new book publicised by the "I don’t think I ever told him, but that speech changed my life. I started to argue with him, to tell him not to criticise, but he didn’t rise to it. "If you’ve done what you need to do, buy whatever you want," he said. Fan' , Cole played a crucial role in Richards maturing and staying clear of the slippery slope many young stars find themselves on upon turning professional.
