MANCHESTER, England : Erling Haaland is blameless for the fact that he has struggled to impose himself in Manchester City's recent matches, coach Pep Guardiola said on Friday, insisting the Norwegian's team mates must find him more often.

City looked to have stolen a march on title rivals Arsenal with victory at the Emirates Stadium last week, only to drop to points at Nottingham Forest in the following match to allow the Gunners to climb back to the top of the standings.
