Manchester City forward Jack Grealish was full of praise for teammate Erling Haaland after his side's 2-1 win over Brentford on Saturday.

Manchester City took full advantage of Liverpool's defeat to move clear at the top by stretching their 100 percent record to four games despite a disastrous start. Yoane Wissa opened the scoring after just 22 seconds for Brentford at the Etihad.
However, Haaland's form at the start of the season remains unstoppable, even if the Norwegian just missed out on a record third consecutive hat-trick in the Premier League.
The 24-year-old's powerful deflected effort brought City level before he showed a combination of strength and skill to shrug off Ethan Pinnock and dink the ball over the onrushing Mark Flekken.
Only the post denied Haaland another hat-trick after half-time but he now has a Premier League record nine goals in the first four games of the season.
“He’s just an absolute machine in front of goal and I can’t speak highly enough of him," said City's Jack Grealish of Haaland, who had been doubtful due to the death this week of a close family friend. "It does speak volumes about him as a person and his mental strength."
