Erling Haaland was confused why a reporter asked him a similar question a few times following Manchester City’s 1-0 win over Burnley.
The Norwegian scored the only goal of the game as the Citizens moved above Arsenal to go top of the Premier League.
It was a strange performance from City, who created numerous chances but couldn’t add a second. Burnley had some opportunities to score as well, but they couldn’t either.
But it’s a result that takes Pep Guardiola’s men top of the table, above Arsenal on goals scored.
Given this title could go down to goals scored, the Sky Sports reporter in question asked Haaland if Man City could have done with more goals.
Haaland responded: “Ha! Yeah, we had a lot of chances, but I am happy we won, and anything else, I don’t think about. Just try to win.”
He was then asked if the result was more important than the performance, as he said: “It is all about winning, no matter how.
“We tried to play our football, and just try to win. That is what you have to have in your mindset, and now, we focus on Saturday (Southampton in the FA Cup).”
The reporter then asked about the difficulty in scoring goals.
Haaland was starting to get frustrated at this point and said: “Don’t think about other goals. Think about winning, as I’ve said now three times.”
The next question was about the FA Cup semi-final, and Haaland said: “It’s been a good month so far, so we need to keep going. First, Southampton, and then, Everton.”
Finally, Haaland snapped when the scoreline was mentioned again.
The irritated striker said: “1-0 is amazing. I am super happy. I don’t know why you keep asking that – I am super happy.
“We won and we got three points, and as they (Man City) fans sing, we are top of the league.”
It all ended positively, though when Haaland was awarded the Man of the Match award and said: “Thank you. Thank you very much.”
Top, but not convincing
When Haaland chipped home from Jeremy Doku’s pass five minutes in at Turf Moor, it looked like a routine win was on the way.
But in the end, it was anything but due to a baffling lack of clinical finishing.
Manchester City rifled in 28 shots and had nine on target, but they couldn’t get past Martin Dubravka after Haaland’s goal.
The former Newcastle United goalkeeper pulled off two particularly stunning stops to deny Rayan Cherki and Nico O’Reilly.
Haaland also hit the post, while several other players fired wide from good positions.
Down the other end, Zian Flemming wasted two golden chances in the first half with wild efforts.
It is now over to Arsenal on Saturday against Newcastle United to respond.
