Summary: Manchester City - Southampton 0:4 (Sport1)
Erling Holland continued his dizzying start to the season last night (Saturday), when he scored for the tenth time in a row in all competitions and for the seventh time in a row in the Premier League, and helped Manchester City defeat Southampton 0:4 and climb to the top of the table, at least temporarily.
The Norwegian now has 20 goals in 13 appearances, and even Pep Guardiola never dreamed of such an overwhelming start.
At the end, Pep joked, and also referred to the petition that was circulated in recent weeks - to prevent the dizzying striker from playing in the league.
"I'm so angry with him - he didn't score a hat-trick," said the champion manager.
"That's exactly why there is a petition to kick him out of the Premier League."
Guardiola was serious and said: "The expectations here of him are so high, people think he will score three or four in every game. In the end he managed to score and helped us again, I think he played very well. He is a big weapon for us, a huge threat, I am very satisfied ".

When should the resume be shortened and how to do it?
In collaboration with Manpower
Ralf Hassenhuttel, whose position was undermined by the defeat, shed some more light on how dangerous Holland is - even when he is not scoring: "The problem is that even if he is not in scoring mode, of course you must constantly pay attention to him, the brakes are constantly in the middle, and this makes it difficult for us in the game The pressure. We have to be very brave with it."
"He's a ridiculous player," added BBC commentator and former player Pat Nevin.
"He is simply extraordinary, no one can think of a player who resembles him. His physicality, incredible speed, sense of goals - he is extraordinary."
