Erling Haaland, who was a key figure in the victory over Arsenal, has called for maximum focus from his teammates in the remaining Premier League matches.
“City” defeated Arsenal yesterday with a 2–1 scoreline, making the title race in England even more intense.
The triumph over the London side brings City within just three points of the top of the Premier League, while Pep Guardiola’s team also has one game in hand.
After the match, the Norwegian striker expressed satisfaction with both the performance and the result.
“I was very happy, I have to be honest. It was a great moment for me. A big win,” said Haaland.
He emphasized that such encounters are always tough and full of physical battles.
“I think it’s always like this — a lot of fighting and things like that. What can I say, it’s always nice. Others can decide whether I won the battle or not,” Haaland added.
He also spoke about the decisive goal, praising the build-up and the finish.
“In that moment of the goal, I won it. It was a good cross and the finish was perfect. I think it was a great goal and a decisive moment, and in the end we won,” he stated.
Finally, he called for maximum focus for the upcoming challenges, highlighting the match against Burnley.
“Every match is like a final. Now that we’re done talking here, we start preparing for Burnley. That match is just as important as this one. We have to stay focused. We need to remain humble, not overthink, and concentrate on the next game,” Haaland concluded.
