Haaland entitled to defend
PEP GUARDIOLA believes Erling Haaland has to look after himself - because he gets no protection from Premier League referees.
Manchester City's Golden Boot winner was warned by Arsenal defender Gabriel that he will be "waiting for him" at The Emirates after the pair waged a running battle in the dramatic 2-2 draw last September.
Haaland launched the ball at the back of the Brazilian's head after John Stones' late equaliser - and he then told Gunners boss Mikel Arteta to "stay humble" as the teams left the pitch.
But City boss Guardiola is amazed that the ice-cool Norwegian doesn't retaliate more often after being targeted by defenders.
Guardiola said: "I am surprised how Erling can control his emotions because with every action he's pulled and he's pulled - and the referee is always, 'Play on, play on'.
