Scoring five goals against Luton is nothing to me. Imagine scoring five goals against Liverpool when we play again; that’s when they’ll realize they’re average teams.’ Man City Star Erling Haaland gives his thoughts on Liverpool’s title challenge against Manchester City.
Erling Haaland, closely monitoring the Premier League title race with Manchester City, expressed confidence, stating, “We are prepared to go on the offensive.” City secured a spot in the FA Cup quarterfinals by defeating Luton Town 6-2 at Kenilworth Road on Tuesday night.
Haaland played a stellar role, contributing five goals for Pep Guardiola’s team, including a hat-trick in the first forty minutes. Despite a two-month absence due to an ankle injury, Haaland has been in good form, scoring seven goals in his last six games.
Star player Kevin De Bruyne, recovering from a prolonged hamstring injury, is back at full strength and assisted Haaland in his opening four goals against Luton. Both players are dedicated to aiding City in securing a historic fourth consecutive Premier League title. With Arsenal trailing in third place, just one point behind leaders Liverpool, City faces a crucial match at Anfield on Sunday.
As Liverpool contends for the championship, Haaland issued a stern warning, stating, “It’s coming, and we’re on our way.” Haaland reassured his fitness, saying, “I’m reaching my peak condition. I feel amazing. Exciting days are ahead, and we’re prepared to launch our attack.”
However, City faced a setback in their victory over Luton as Jack Grealish was visibly distressed on the bench and had to be substituted in the 38th minute due to a recurrence of a groin injury. Manager Pep Guardiola commented, “I haven’t spoken to the doctor yet, but it seems he complained about his groin, so it may be similar.”
