Erling Haaland’s contributions for City went beyond just his opener against the Gunners (X)
From telling Mikel Arteta to ‘stay humble’ to calling Gabriel Jesus ‘a f*cking clown’, Erling Haaland established himself as the biggest mencae to Arsenal last night in City’s heated 2-2 tie in the Premier League.
A goalscoring machine of the finest quality, a bonafide record-breaker, and a prime sh*thousery — Manchester City’s Erling Haaland can do it all, and it was all on full display during last night’s intense 2-2 tie against Arsenal in the Premier League.
In a fixture set to decide the early season table-toppers, Haaland continued his stellar goalscoring form, netting the opener for City in just the 9th minute, slotting a sweet run+assist from Savinho right into the back of Daivd Raya’s net.
With his early opener, Haaland equalled former Real Madrid talisman Cristiano Ronaldo’s record, becoming the tied-fastest to score 100 goals for a single club, with both strikers attaining the feat in just 105 games for their respective clubs.
But, Haaland’s contribution to the game wouldn’t stop there. In fact, the Norwegian would go on to follow the footsteps on one Jamie Vardy: once the goal is banged in, start to chat s**t.
Haaland would go on to establish himself as the biggest mencae to Arsenal, with the striker involving himself in heated confrontations with the likes of Gabriel, celebrating by bouncing the ball off Gabriel’s head after City’s last-minute equalizer, and absolutely flooring Thomas Partey with a full-fledged run straight into the midfielder.
But, all his antics would be capped off after the final whistle waas blown, when Haaland had a brief word with Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta, who was passing by whilst congratulating all the players, telling the Spaniard to ‘stay humble’.
“Stay humble eh? Stay humble,” Haaland egged on Arteta, as he passed him.
The Norwegian’s words did not sit well with Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus, who confronted Haaland about the same, only to get slandered himself.
“What? What are you talking about? Get the f*ck away, you f*ucking clown!, ” retorted Haaland.
