Manchester City striker Erling Haaland appeared to be in a very good mood as he sang after helping his side to claim a 2-1 win over Arsenal. The Cityzens moved to within three points of the league leaders, who have played a game more than them, after their win.
Haaland enjoyed a happy day at the Etihad Stadium, and was caught on camera belting out Flo Rida’s 2011 hit, Good Feeling, at the final whistle. Afterwards, the Norwegian joined in a huddle with his teammates as they celebrated their victory after a hard-fought encounter in front of their fans.
Thanks for the submission!
“Woah… sometimes, I get a good feeling!”, he sang.
Erling Haaland scored for his side as they picked up a first league triumph over Arsenal in six attempts. The Manchester City man was engaged in a series of physical battles with the Gunners’ centre-backs throughout the encounter, and had the last laugh at the end of the clash.
The 25-year-old just about slipped away from Brazil international Gabriel Magalhaes long enough to sweep home a cross from Nico O’Reilly inside the box. He took his tally in the league this season to 23 goals, extending his lead atop the goalscoring charts. His goal came after Rayan Cherki and Kai Havertz traded goals inside two minutes in the first half.
Haaland’s 65th minute goal was his fourth one in as many consecutive league games against the Gunners. The striker has now scored in seven of his nine league appearances against Mikel Arteta‘s side, making him a thorn in their flesh.
Haaland shares thoughts on Gabriel clash in Manchester City-Arsenal tie
Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has shared his thoughts on his second half clash with Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes. The pair were engaged in a physical battle throughout the game, but things came to a head in the closing stages.
Haaland spoke to the media after the game, and was asked for his thoughts on his clash with the Arsenal centre-back. He revealed that the defender’s action would have warranted a red card if he had chosen to fall to the floor, but he decided against doing so.
“If I fell on the floor, which I will not do unless someone really attacks me, I think maybe it would be a red card, I’m not sure. I will not fall on the floor as easy like this. Yellow card, for me I don’t know why. He comes up to my face!”, he said.
Haaland and Gabriel were both shown a yellow card apiece in the 83rd minute following some pushing and shoving between the pair. The defender was lucky to escape a red card as he appeared to have moved his head towards the Manchester City striker for a headbutt.
