Ian Wright has shared his high praise for the striking duo of Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez following Manchester City's Premier League game against Fulham.
City defeated the opponents 5-1 at the Etihad Stadium, with Haaland once again making headlines by scoring a hat-trick. Alvarez also found the back of the net, and Nathan Ake added to the scoresheet with a header just before half-time.
The controversy arose because Manuel Akanji was in an offside position as Ake's pass led to the goal. However, City's victory was well-deserved, and Wright specifically highlighted the growing partnership between Haaland and Alvarez on Match of the Day.
“It looks very good. They seem to be really close to each other," the pundit said about Haaland and Alvarez, via Manchester City News.
"They’re starting to understand everything that’s going on. I’m not sure if Haaland was shooting for goal here, but look at Alvarez, he’s going in there… bam. That’s just a striker. He’s just following his nose straight in there."
