Alf-Inge Haaland sends Man City warning about son Erling Haaland

Alf-Inge Haaland warned fans not to expect his son Erling to score in every match this season ahead of Manchester City's defeat at Liverpool on Sunday afternoon.

Haaland has scored 15 goals in 10 Premier League outings so far in his City career, but the defeat at Anfield saw him fail to find the back of the net in sky blue for the first time since mid-August. His father Alf-Inge, who also played for City, warned Blues fans before the game on Merseyside that his son could not be expected to keep up his ridiculous rate of scoring.

Speaking to former Norway teammate Jan Aage Fjørtoft, Haaland Snr admitted the attention his son is receiving is overwhelming at times, but he's concentrating on keeping his son's feet firmly on the ground.
