Despite Brentford proving equal to the Citizens, Haaland’s scoring ability proved the difference.
“It’s important we don’t drop points, it’s a good lesson,” said Guardiola post-game.
“We were lucky with the deflection Erling scored. The players know it.
“That’s why at half time, I didn’t say anything. There will be a lot of surprises with this number of games and one day we are going to drop points.
“With a really tough game, we survived and with our mentality we adjusted. We did really well with our process to find the right moments.”
