The incident was on the day of Manchester City’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea. Arling Haaland, the lifeblood of the team, could not score a single goal after trying 9 times on Saturday. But the Norwegian striker’s 22nd goal of the season on Tuesday sealed an impressive 1-0 win against Brentford. The difference with Liverpool at the top is only one point. After such a performance, City coach Pep Guardiola said that Haaland had silenced the critics.
City took 31 shots against Chelsea that day. It was also 25 against Brentford. From there, only two goals came in two matches. As a result, they were disappointed in this match up to a stage. But midway through the second half a mistake by Brentford defender Christopher Ajer gave Haaland a chance. He caught the pass of Julián Alvarez and shook the net with a quick run. After the match, Guardiola praised Tai Shishiya, ‘Top goalscorer, top striker, many goals; Don’t criticize him after that. Then he will shut everyone’s mouth like this.’
Haaland was out for a long time due to injury. He also lost his grandmother last week. After that, Haaland Ispat played with a tough mentality. Guardiola said, ‘Sooner or later he will stand up. Was out of the field for two months, lost his grandmother too. It is not easy for any person to handle these things. Arling will be needed in such a match against Brentford.’
The top three teams in the Premier League are now separated by just two points. Liverpool is at the top with 57 points in 25 matches. City in two with 56 points in the match. Arsenal is third with 55 points.
