LONDON (Reuters) - Erling Haaland put yet more notches in an incredible first season with Manchester City but Julian Alvarez also received special praise from manager Pep Guardiola after Sunday's 2-1 win at Fulham which put City back on top of the table.

City were dealt a blow with Kevin de Bruyne ruled out with an injury, but even without their Belgian playmaker the combination of Haaland and Alvarez ensured victory.

The 23-year-old Alvarez, who has been used mainly as a substitute this season, now has eight league goals and is proving an effective option for Guardiola. "To play almost all of the games to be world champions with Argentina where there are thousands of talented footballers and to be able to play there is because he has something."
