Haaland: Arsenal have been the best team this season, now we have to go for the juggernaut!

Asked if he felt City had put in a championship performance, Haaland told Amazon Prime: “City are, ‘we’ not me, they are the champions so you can say that, yes. “A little adjustment at half-time from Pep and at the end of the day we’ve got quality players and we’ve got to get it out of every player and we did that today.”We all agree that [Arsenal] have been the best team this season so to come and play against them is not easy, but we played an amazing game and got three really important points – we are in it again.On ending his goal drought

Manchester City have had an extremely important game, which they have handled excellently. They beat Arsenal 3-1 in the battle for first place. Erling Haaland, who could not praise the performance of his teammates, also scored a goal.

Although there were two Champions League matches on Wednesday, the Premier League was played for first place as Arsenal welcomed Manchester City to their home ground. The Citizens could have taken a point from their rivals with a win, and that’s exactly what happened. What’s more, they leapfrogged them in the table.

Pep Guardiola’s charges managed to win the game 3-1 and after a long time they hold the first position in the table again. Manchester City seemed to have given up a couple of times already this season. But now it is a reality. But the Gunners have a game in hand.

But it’s worth noting that the Citizens did win, but we saw some unprecedented numbers from them. For example, they only had possession of the ball 36% of the time. That doesn’t happen very often for Guardiola. Nevertheless, the win was well deserved.

Erling Haaland and co. created more chances and were more effective. Haaland himself scored one goal in the 82nd minute to make it 3-1. And after the match he did not spare any praise for his team.

He said Manchester City had given a masterful performance. “Sometimes we simply have to play more in this way. I’m proud of all the boys in the team. I am overwhelmingly happy to be here,” Haaland expressed to Amazon Prime.

“We all agree that Arsenal have been the best team this season. It’s not easy to play against them. But we played an amazing game, got the important three points and we are back in the game. We needed this. Now we have to go on a tear because Manchester City have to do it,” he added.

Haaland has already scored 26 goals this Premier League season, sovereignly reigning the goalscoring stats and is the scorer of almost 45% of all Citizens’ goals in the league. Second Harry Kane is nine goals behind him.
