Roy Keane Criticizes Erling Haaland's Performance Against Arsenal

Roy Keane didn’t hold back in his assessment of Erling Haaland’s performance after Manchester City’s goalless draw with Arsenal. The former Manchester United captain labeled the Norwegian striker a “League Two player” due to his poor all-round play during the match at the Etihad Stadium.

Despite being considered one of the best strikers in the world in front of goal, Haaland struggled to make an impact against Arsenal. Keane criticized Haaland’s general play, including his passing and headers, suggesting that he needs to improve in these areas. Fans were shocked by Keane’s harsh comments, with some agreeing that Haaland’s performance was below par. However, others defended the striker, pointing out his impressive goal-scoring record this season. This is not the first time Keane has been critical of Haaland.

The two were involved in a feud during Keane’s playing days, culminating in a controversial challenge by Keane on Haaland’s father, Alf Inge Haaland, during a Manchester derby in 2001. Despite his struggles against Arsenal, Haaland remains the Premier League’s top scorer this season with 18 goals. However, he has only scored once in City’s last four Premier League matches.
