Erling Haaland explains why he's been frustrated at Man City teammates in recent fixtures

Erling Haaland says he has been frustrated in recent games over his Manchester City teammates failing to provide the service he wants.

Haaland has raced into the lead for the Golden Boot, with 26 goals from his first 22 Premier League appearances, and 32 goals in 30 outings for City in total. However, whenever he doesn't score - such as last week's two outings against Tottenham and Aston Villa - questions arise over how Haaland best fits into the City team.

While the Norwegian has a philosophical view of his place in City's system, he also told Alan Shearer this week that he is frustrated when teammates pass up chances to send a ball forward for him to run onto, or put in a cross for him to attack.
