Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola reveals the warning he gave to star striker Erling Haaland on Saturday evening.
The Norwegian striker bagged his 21st Premier League of the season although the Citizens drew 1-1 with Everton at the Etihad Stadium.
The game got a bit feisty between the two teams, most notably after Haaland's late challenge on Vitalii Mykolenko in the first half.

The Norwegian striker was booked for the tackle, but Guardiola claims he warned his striker to calm down.
"It was a (deserved) yellow card for Haaland. He was a bit angry for the first action on his ankle (by Godfrey), " Guardiola said as per the Mail.
"I told him to be careful because we can't play 10 against 11 and he reacted well.
"We are Manchester City. We have to do our best but I know what happened. Against Leeds, three or four fouls on Jack Grealish and nothing happened.
"I don't want a relationship with the referees. I don't want to be there in the meetings. I don't care. They do their job, it is fine."
