Erling Haaland’s father conveys a poignant message to Arsenal following the humiliation of his son.Alfie Haaland, the father of Manchester City striker
Erling Haaland, has made a pointed remark regarding Arsenal in the wake of their decisive 5-1 triumph over the current Premier League champions on Sunday. The Gunners promptly established their supremacy, with Martin Ødegaard propelling them into the lead a mere 104 seconds into the match.
Erring momentarily equalized in the 55th minute; however, Arsenal swiftly regained the lead as Thomas Partey scored just one minute later. Teenager Myles Lewis-Skelly augmented the team’s advantage by scoring his inaugural senior goal for the club. Subsequently, he jestingly emulated Erling Haaland’s distinctive yoga-style celebration—
potentially as a retort to Haaland’s well-known “stay humble” comment directed at Mikel Arteta following their intense 2-2 draw at the Etihad earlier this season.The match exhibited all the characteristics of an escalating rivalry, as Arsenal demonstrated superior skill, physicality, and strategic acumen against a
Manchester City team that has been a dominant force in the Premier League in recent years. The tensions between the two organizations have been escalating, exacerbated by Haaland’s remarks to Arteta earlier in the season, as well as his condescending demeanor towards Lewis-Skelly. On this occasion, the 18-year-old midfielder delivered a compelling performance on the field.
Nevertheless, Alfie Haaland promptly criticized Arsenal for their deficiency in recent trophy acquisitions. Subsequent to Arsenal’s official X account disseminating a celebratory message entitled “This team” in light of their commanding performance, Haaland responded with a note of sarcasm, stating:
“This team that wins everything.” Ehhhhh, not.” Notwithstanding the remarks made by Haaland Sr., Arsenal is expected to remain undeterred, having achieved a significant victory on the field. The outcome elevates them to second place, positioning them six points behind the league leaders, Liverpool, while Manchester City remains in fourth place—now an astonishing 15 points adrift of the leaders.
