"I Told Him To Be Careful And He Reacted Well": Pep Guardiola Reveals His Warning To Erling Haaland

Pep Guardiola admitted he had to warn Erling Haaland against getting himself sent off in a stormy 1-1 draw against Everton.

A frustrated Haaland was booked for a lunge on Vitaliy Mykolenko midway through the first half after previously being caught by Ben Godfrey and then left James Tarkowski on the floor with a flailing arm as he shielded the ball.

It was a (deserved) yellow card for Haaland. He was a bit angry for the first action on his ankle (by Godfrey). I told him to be careful because we can’t play 10 against 11 and he reacted well.

‘We are Manchester City. We have to do our best but I know what happened. Against Leeds, three or four fouls on Jack Grealish and nothing happened.

‘I don’t want a relationship with the referees. I don’t want to be there in the meetings. I don’t care. They do their job, it is fine.

Haaland did score his 21st league goal of the season to give City the lead but Everton equalised with a stunning long-range strike by Damarai Gray.
