Manchester City striker Erling Haaland says they can only get better after winning their opening four games of the season.

Haaland hit a hat-trick as City thumped Fulham on Saturday.

“We sometimes start a bit late because we are playing the last games because we are the best team," said Haaland.

“It is how it is. We will only get better and better from this.

“The start has been phenomenal. It's been a perfect start.

“But we have a much higher level and it's about working towards that."

On victory over Fulham, he added: “We started a bit sloppy, but we ended in a good way.

“It was an important win, four out of four and we go into the international break with a really good start.

“In the end we win 5-1 and it's well deserved. It was the perfect end to this week."
