Erling Braut Haaland was the big match-winner against Arsenal, as Manchester City won 2-1 at home.

The team is now three points ahead of Arsenal but has played one fewer game. If they win away at bottom side Burnley on Wednesday, City will leapfrog Arsenal thanks to a better goal difference or goals scored.

However, Haaland did not want to talk much about a possible title after the match.

"I'll be boring. I'm not stupid. We'll take one game at a time, focus on the next one and so on," he told Viaplay and continued:

"I know you want your headlines, but I'm smarter than that. I'm Norwegian."
