News about Erling Haaland

The final day of the Premier League is nearly upon us and with the title still up for grabs, fans can look forward to a drama-filled Sunday. Man City and Arsenal will be fighting for the title - although Pep Guardiola's side are in the driving seat - and others will be playing for European places, or merely pride. And Sky Bet are offering a Price Boost as part of their Player Stat Accas market as some of the league's best players look to end the 2023-24 season on a high.

OLIVER HOLT: It feels like a lifetime ago now but I was once an enthusiastic proponent of VAR. I thought it would prevent injustice. I thought it would stop the bigger clubs getting more than their fair share of home-town decisions. I thought it would take pressure off referees and their assistants and reduce the abuse aimed at them. I thought it would stop endless arguments about whether a decision was right and quell absurd accusations about corruption. I thought it would make football even better. I was wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong and wrong. And now, if the proposal to scrap VAR in English football gathers pace and if there is even a sliver of hope that Premier League clubs vote to rid it from the game this summer, I would bid it good riddance without hesitation and put the whole wretched experiment down to experience. Then, I'd look forward to us getting our game back.

Jamie Carragher has claimed substitute goalkeeper Stefan Ortega has 'basically won Manchester City the Premier League' after he produced a superb save to deny Son Heung-min an equaliser in the 85th minute of their 2-0 defeat by Man City.   Prior to the match, Arsenal fans had jokingly emplored Tottenham to secure a victory against Manchester City, to help the Gunners take a step closer to their first Premier League title in 20 years.  Yet, Spurs succumbed to a 2-0 victory, with Erling Haaland scoring twice in the second half to give Man City a two-point lead on Mikel Arteta's side, heading into the final game of the season this Sunday. 

Sections of Tottenham supporters appeared delighted after Erling Haaland scored to give Man City the lead in Tuesday's Premier League clash against Spurs by doing the Poznan. Pre-match build-up the game was dominated by discussion over whether Spurs wanted to beat City knowing that a win over Pep Guardiola's side would give rivals Arsenal the chance to win the Premier League title on the final day of the season.

Manchester City's Erling Haaland and Real Madrid's Vinicius Jnr have once again established themselves as two of the best players in the world this season. That is evidenced by their statistics with the pair combining for an impressive 57 goals across all competitions in 2023-24. And for those predicting both Haaland and Vinicius Jnr to torment their opponent's defence again tonight, Sky Bet are offering a 'Price Boost' as part of their 'Player Stat Accas' market involving the pair.

JACK GAUGHAN: Erling Haaland dismissed critics of his general play as the Manchester City striker claimed players can succeed at the highest level without touching the ball. With 25 Premier League goals in his second season, Haaland looks set to become the first since Harry Kane in 2017 to clinch consecutive Golden Boot awards. But the 23-year-old has been the subject of intense debate about how he fits into Pep Guardiola's team, with the City boss regularly jumping to his defence.

Borussia Dortmund have used Paris Saint-Germain's social media post from four years ago to mock the French club after knocking them out of the Champions League at the semi-finals stage. Mats Hummels scored as Dortmund won 1-0 away in the second leg against PSG, with the German side securing a 2-0 victory on aggregate. Dortmund will take on either Real Madrid or Bayern Munich in the final as they look to win the Champions League for the first time since 1997.

Roy Keane has slammed Erling Haaland for his reaction to his substitution against Wolves at the weekend. The Norway international bagged four goals, including a first half hat-trick, before being taken off in the second half.

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland was angry at being substituted in his side's 5-1 win at home to Wolves. Haaland had scored four goals for City during their comprehensive victory but he was replaced by Julian Alvarez in the 82nd minute. However, the 23-year-old, who is currently leading the race for the Premier League golden boot, was adamant that he should have stayed on the pitch and looked frustrated as he took his place on the bench.

DANNY MURPHY: We can eulogise about Erling Haaland's four goals and Footballer of the Year Phil Foden but don't underestimate the importance of Ederson. We saw on Saturday why Pep Guardiola sticks with the Brazilian as his No 1. It's not only due to the traditional aspects of goalkeeping but also because of his feet. He has better vision and distribution than some of the midfielders I played with. The best example was the pass through the lines to Foden to help create City's fourth goal. It was something many outfield players wouldn't be capable of.

Erling Haaland netted an incredible hat-trick for Man City against Wolves to see Pep Guardiola's side close in on Arsenal at the top of the league. With Arsenal beating Bournemouth 3-0 earlier in the day, the Premier League champions knew that they needed to win both of their games in hand to return to the top of the table.

There is a Featured RequestABet and multiple Price Boosts available for today's Premier League clash between Manchester City and Wolves at the Etihad. The RequestABet needs Kevin De Bruyne to have 1+ assists, Nelson Semedo to commit 2+ fouls and Manchester City to have eight or more corners. The odds for that particular bet are 8/1.

NOTTINGHAM FOREST 2-0 MANCHESTER CITY - IAN LADYMAN AT THE CITY GROUND: We probably would have expected a result like this but we would not have predicted it to come about quite this way. Nottingham Forest were full of energy and menace and ambition while Manchester City were probably as sluggish and out of sorts as we have seen them for quite some time. City won, though, and did so with something to spare in the end. And why? Because the Forest centre forward Chris Wood made the art of scoring goals look desperately difficult while Erling Haaland of City arrived as a substitute to make it look so devastatingly easy.

TOM COLLOMOSSE AT THE CITY GROUND: Erling Haaland warned Manchester City to forget Arsenal's title challenge or risk driving themselves 'crazy' as they chase a fourth consecutive Premier League crown. The Norwegian scored the clincher in the second half shortly after coming on as a substitute and though City did not play particularly well, they will take the title if they win their remaining four games. With his father Alfie watching from the directors' box, Haaland struck his 21st league goal of the season to go clear again at the top of the scoring charts.

Manchester City ensured they remained slim favourites to retain their Premier League crown after beating Nottingham Forest at the City Ground. The returning Erling Haaland settled City's second-half nerves shortly after being brought on as a substitute and moved the champions just one point behind Arsenal. It was far from plain sailing for Pep Guardiola's slickers before the break with Chris Wood spurning several golden openings and Callum Hudson-Odoi firing off target. City, though, took the lead a shade after the half-hour mark after Josko Gvardiol powered a header home from a corner - and Haaland went on to seal the victory Here, Mail Sport's TOM COLLOMOSSE has rated the players...

Phil Foden has been forced to miss Manchester City's crucial clash with Nottingham Forest due to illness. Foden has been a central figure for the reigning champions this season, scoring 16 goals and providing seven assists in the league this season. The England international scored twice earlier this week against Brighton to continue his sparkling form, which has made him the leading contender to be named player of the year.

Title-chasing Manchester City will be without leading scorer Erling Haaland for Thursday's Premier League clash with Brighton. Haaland missed the FA Cup semi-final win over Chelsea on Saturday with a muscle issue and has now been ruled out of his side's trip to the Amex Stadium. Manager Pep Guardiola insisted the matter was not a serious one for the 20-goal striker, who could come back into contention Sunday's clash with Nottingham Forest, and was boosted by Phil Foden and John Stones both getting the green light after their own fitness concerns.

Erling Haaland has been left out of Manchester City's squad for their FA Cup semi-final tie against Chelsea at Wembley.

GRAEME SOUNESS: Never in my 50-odd years in this game have I heard a player say he had to come off the pitch because he was too tired. So I was surprised to hear Pep Guardiola say that Kevin De Bruyne, Erling Haaland and Manuel Akanji had asked to be substituted against Real Madrid the other night because they 'could not continue'. That's something I've never witnessed. I can only presume that Guardiola was protecting De Bruyne and Haaland, that they were feeling something or carrying knocks, as that's the only explanation surely for taking off your most creative player and top goalscorer when chasing the game in a Champions League quarter-final.

The Premier League has had better weeks. A right old bruising in the Champions League. Won't somebody think of the coefficient? There were wry smiles across the continent on Thursday morning when the self-proclaimed Best League in the World saw its remaining Champions League hopes extinguished. There will be no English club in the semi-finals for the first time in four years. Bayern Munich are enduring their worst season in recent memory and gently eased Arsenal on to the hard shoulder. Real Madrid taunted Manchester City into a penalty shootout and, with their voodoo in this competition, prevailed as everybody inside the Etihad Stadium expected them to once it came down to nerve and kicking stationary balls from 12 yards.

In this week's episode of 'It's All Kicking Off!', Ian and Chris open by discussing Erling Haaland's anger, as Chris explains the times he saw red

Erling Haaland has become a minority investor in Norwegian hair accessory company Bon Dep as the Manchester City striker looks to cash-in on his luscious golden shoulder-length mane. Bon Dep has ambitions to double its current annual turnover equivalent to £7m and hope Haaland's increased involvement can drive further sales of their luxury accessories.

Man City's defence of their Champions League crown will be on the line as Pep Guardiola's side welcome Real Madrid to the Etihad on Wednesday night. Sky Bet are offering four Price Boosts for the second leg of the quarter-final, which remains in the balance after a thrilling 3-3 draw in Madrid last week. The bookmaker have boosted odds on Erling Haaland and Vinicius Jnr both to score in 90 minutes to 7/1, having originally been priced at 11/2.
