Erling Haaland delivered a stunning performance, scoring four goals as Manchester City dominated Wolves in a 5-1 victory, narrowing the gap to Premier League leaders Arsenal to just one point. Haaland’s remarkable display took his season tally to 36 goals in 41 appearances, reaffirming his status as one of the world’s top strikers.
The Norwegian’s outstanding performance came after criticism from Manchester United legend Roy Keane, who had commented on Haaland’s “poor” general play, likening it to that of a “League Two player.” Keane later jokingly suggested Haaland might be more of a Championship standard player. However, Haaland brushed off Keane’s comments, stating bluntly, “I don’t care about that man.” Fans were quick to react, with many praising Haaland for his response and hailing him as the best striker in the world.
Keane’s criticism stirred controversy, especially considering Haaland’s exceptional goal-scoring record, including breaking the single-season goal record just a year ago. Haaland’s performance against Wolves also marked his 25th goal in the Premier League this season. Reflecting on his achievement, he credited his manager and teammates for their support and emphasized his commitment to continuous improvement.
