Pep Guardiola made jokes about Erling Haaland after the Manchester City goal machine scored a brace in the team's comfortable 2-0 win over Everton on Saturday. Haaland's purple patch for country and club continued as he now has 14 goals for the Cityzens in the 2025-26 campaign across all competitions and 11 in the Premier League in eight appearances.

Inter defender Denzel Dumfries is still on cloud nine after finishing 25th in the Ballon d'Or rankings. The 29-year-old, who had his best season under Simone Inzaghi, says he was delighted to find out he had placed just above Manchester City’s Erling Haaland at the Paris ceremony held in September. The Dutchman was key to Inter’s Champions League run, scoring two goals and setting up a further three across two legs against Barcelona in the semi-finals.

Atletico Madrid's Marcos Llorente has found himself at the centre of controversy after defending his use of tinted glasses. His detailed Instagram post about light exposure, melatonin, and “protecting biology” sparked online debate. However, Manchester City’s Erling Haaland has surprisingly come to his defence, showing support for his views.

The end of the October international window is upon us, club football fans. Get ready for four more weeks of Premier League fun before we're lulled back into the November break. Fortunately, there's non-stop action before then to look forward to, beginning with some mouth-watering fixtures this coming weekend, including Manchester United's trip to Liverpool.

Erling Haaland showed off his eccentric new fashion sense on Instagram as he posed donning a flat cap and holding a bag worth nearly £10,000. Haaland is currently enjoying a brief holiday in Spain after being released from the Norway squad in the middle of the international window. The goal machine scored a hat-trick against Israel in a World Cup qualifying game last week, but will not feature in an upcoming friendly.
