Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was full of praise for Erling Haaland after his four goal haul in victory over Wolves.

City defeated Wolves 5-1 on Saturday night.

Guardiola said, Today he did it and against Nottingham Forest as well. He was injured before].

He is so tall, so to return to top form, you need time. It's not like Jeremy or Phil or Julian, they can be ready [quicker].

I'm so happy for his performance and the exceptional goals he scored.

Penalties as well, because we know how sometimes it is not easy. I'm really pleased for him."

On Haaland being substituted on 82 minutes, Guardiola added, There were a lot of long balls into channels that he was pulled [back] but they say it's not foul.

I can understand the frustration when you are being pulled at the shoulder.

It happens every game. He was a little frustrated for these actions, but I can guarantee he is so happy today."
