Erling Haaland fires Arsenal Premier League title warning amid Man City battle

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has warned Premier League leaders Arsenal that nothing is decided yet when it comes to the title race.

The Citizens defeated Crystal Palace 1-0 on Saturday evening courtesy of a late penalty from the Norwegian international, meaning the Gunners were just two points ahead of the reigning champions. Speaking after the victory at Selhurst Park, Haaland fired off a warning to Mikel Arteta and co.

"Everyone knows how important this win is for us and we have to keep going," the former Borussia Dortmund frontman said. "Every single game we have to win and now it's (RB) Leipzig, then Burnley.

"We have to win games and focus on ourselves. We have a lot of games left to play so nothing is decided yet.

"I enjoy it, this is England, this is what I have watched my whole life. I enjoy every single second being in it. It's good to be in the middle of it."

However, Arsenal restored their five-point lead at the top of the pile on Sunday afternoon, seeing off Fulham 3-0 in what was a dominant display that saw January signing Leandro Trossard assist all three goals. Speaking with football.london after his hat-trick of assists, the Belgian international spoke about how easy it's been fitting into life in Arteta's squad.

“To be honest, they have made it easy for me. It’s such a good group," the 28-year-old said. "They let me feel welcome on the first day and it felt directly like home. Then it is so much easier for a new player to adapt to a new team.

“The manager also helped me a lot. I am a tactical player and they are all so good on the ball as well, so it’s easier to adapt. I am feeling great now.”
