Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne has no doubts regarding the quality of new teammate Erling Haaland.

The Norway star struggled on his home debut in the Premier League, managing only eight touches throughout the contest.

However, he did set up the opening goal for Ilkay Gundogan in the 4-0 win over Bournemouth.

"If he doesn't score they will say it, but he set up the first goal, he had a couple of chances and he was there," De Bruyne told reporters post-game.

"He helped us make these chances, he did what he had to do and on another day he will score - it's all good for me.

"Obviously it's hard being that focal point in the system. We have 11 people behind the ball pretty much all the time, so in these however many touches he was dangerous.

"You don't need a lot of touches to be dangerous. He helps the team in many aspects and he didn't complain, he was still helping and giving assists so it's fine."
