Norwegian striker jokes after brace vs Bournemouth

Erling Haaland bagged two goals in Manchester City’s 3-1 win over Bournemouth, hitting his 12th and 13th Premier League strikes this term. He later joked about fantasy managers after Pep Guardiola subbed him on a hat-trick — proving the only thing faster than Haaland is the substitution board.

Pep hailed his No.9’s hunger, comparing his influence to Messi and Ronaldo, as City stayed six points behind leaders Arsenal. Haaland ended the night in an ice bath, showing cool focus for the challenges ahead.
