'He's been amazing' - Erling Haaland in love with new Man City star Savinho as striker reveals his delight at Ilkay Gundogan's return as Premier League champions crush Ipswich

Ipswich

Normal business resumed at Etihad as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-city-player-ratings-vs-ipswich-town-erling-haaland-savinho/blt6aaf56f3eb1e251d" target="_blank">City thrashed newly-promoted Ipswich 4-1</a>, thanks to a hat-trick from Erling Haaland and a goal from Kevin de Bruyne. Apart from the incredible result, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-city-transfer-masterstroke-ilkay-gundogan-ageing-midfield-revamp-pep-guardiola/blt3e9ecc07616b2be8" target="_blank">the return of Gundogan</a>, following one year at Barcelona, set the crowd buzzing. The German was greeted with applause and cheers from the home fans, who were clearly delighted to see him back in a City shirt after Pep Guardiola put him on in the 71st minute.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Haaland did not hide his enthusiasm for Gundogan's return and said: "Amazing. When he’s in the locker room, and the treatment room, it feels normal to just see him. It’s good to have him back. He’s an amazing footballer, everyone knows this already. I cannot wait to play with him again. The first game of the season at home was something we were all looking forward to. Knowing how difficult it is for teams to come to the Etihad, I’m really happy we started the season this way."

WHAT HAALAND SAID

The match also marked the first start at the Etihad in a competitive match for City’s new signing, Savinho. The young winger wasted no time in making an impact, earning two assists and playing a pivotal role in City’s comeback. His dynamic performance on the wing, combined with his relentless pressing, won him high praise from Haaland. "He’s been amazing so far," the Norwegian said. "We’re happy with everyone we have and everyone that comes."

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Looking ahead, City will travel to the capital next Saturday to face West Ham at the London Stadium. With their confidence boosted by the victory over Ipswich, the defending champions will aim to continue their winning streak and maintain their position at the top of the table.
