‘Who Are You?’ Everyone Knows Who Lewis-Skelly Is Now

CUD Wontumi0 CommentsSports,
The first time Myles Lewis-Skelly crossed his path, Erling Haaland demanded to know: “Who are you?” Manchester City’s superstar striker was unimpressed to be confronted by the Arsenal teenager at Etihad Stadium in September. That initial meeting came amid angry scenes at the end of an ill-tempered 2-2 draw at Etihad Stadium, during which Lewis-Skelly made headlines – before he had even played a minute of Premier League football – by being shown a yellow card while warming up as a substitute. Haaland need not ask again. Lewis-Skelly, 18, inspired a 5-1 win that keeps Arsenal right in the title race – and delivered…

Erling Haaland: Pep Guardiola Defends Manchester City Striker After Roy Keane Criticism

wontumionlineSports
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has defended striker Erling Haaland following Roy Keane’s criticism after Sunday’s 0-0 draw with Arsenal. The ex-Manchester United captain said Haaland’s “general play” is “so poor” and “almost like a League Two player”. “I don’t agree with him, absolutely not,” said Guardiola when asked about Keane’s comments. Haaland scored 52 goals in all competitions last season and has 29 this term – 18 in the Premier League. “He’s the best striker in the world,” added Guardiola of the 23-year-old Norwegian. “He helped us win last season and the reason why we didn’t create many answers from Erling…

Liverpool v Man City: Erling Haaland Says Trent Alexander-Arnold ‘Doesn’t Know’ How Treble Feels

wontumionlineSports, ,
Manchester City striker Erling Haaland “doesn’t mind” what Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold says as he “doesn’t know” how it feels to win the Treble. The Reds defender said that Liverpool’s trophies under Jurgen Klopp “will mean more” than City’s under Pep Guardiola. The Premier League leaders are at home on Sunday to City, who won the league, FA Cup and Champions League last term. “I’ve been here one year and I won the Treble and it was quite a nice feeling,” Haaland told Sky Sports. “I don’t think he knows exactly this feeling. So, that’s what I felt last season. It…

‘I Will Do Everything For Treble’ – Erling Haaland

wontumionlineSports,
Manchester City striker Erling Haaland says he “will do everything” to help the club to a historic Treble. City have won this season’s Premier League and can add to that if they beat Manchester United in the FA Cup final on Saturday and Inter Milan in the Champions League final on 10 June. United won each of those trophies in 1999 and are the only English club to have done such a Treble. “It would be unreal to make this history,” said 22-year-old Haaland. Despite City’s domestic dominance, they are yet to win the Champions League and Haaland hopes he…

Erling Haaland Record: Revisiting Some Of The Premier League’s Greatest Strikers

wontumionlineSports,
Erling Haaland's relentless goalscoring rampage in his first season at Manchester City has written a new chapter in the Premier League's history books.

The 22-year-old's past deeds at RB Salzburg and Borussia Dortmund created a frenzy of expectation when he signed for City, but the rate at which Haaland has racked up goals has surprised even the most optimistic observers.
