Postecoglou under fire as Forest lose again, Haaland seals Man City win, Palace's unbeaten run ends

Erling Haaland's sizzling start to the season continued as his goal sealed a 1-0 win for Manchester City at Brentford that lifted his side into fifth place in the table.

"I knew it was a big challenge walking in, there is nothing wrong with that. I don't get why people think it is a burden but I love a challenge. The alternative is sitting at home watching the game and I don't want to do that," Postecoglou told the BBC.
