Haaland urges focus on City not Arsenal
Haaland urged City to avoid dwelling on Arsenal and to keep improving to prevent another Fulham style collapse, where four goals slipped through.
City edged Fulham 5-4 at Craven Cottage in a dramatic Premier League encounter, with the Norwegian forward adding to the drama on the night.
He stressed that the team should stay focused on themselves and continually improve to shield against defensive lapses that allowed Fulham to score four.
Milestone and a tight race
Haaland spoke about the milestone of reaching 100 Premier League goals for City, achieved in 111 appearances, a testament to his prolific form since arriving in Manchester.
City moved to 28 points, sitting in second place, two behind Arsenal, who were due to face Brentford on the following day.
Punchline 1: City may win the match, but their defense could use a map to the goalposts. Punchline 2: Arsenal might sleep easy tonight, but City are already plotting their next dramatic chapter.
