Erling Haaland makes "horrible" admission after Jamie Carragher questioned Man City move

Erling Haaland has admitted his performance against Tottenham which drew criticism from Jamie Carragher was "horrible" but insisted it only gave him more motivation to do better.

The Norwegian striker was virtually non-existent in Spurs' 1-0 win over the title chasers last month, when Haaland was overshadowed by record-breaker Harry Kane, who almost moved to Manchester City ahead of him. Haaland failed to attempt a single shot against Spurs during the match - the first time he had recorded that unwanted feat since September 2020.

Sky Sports pundit Carragher was pretty damning with his assessment of Haaland after the game, even questioning whether the 22-year-old had made the wrong move by joining City instead of the numerous other clubs who were chasing his signature. Carragher went further by suggesting City's style of play did not suit the superstar and they were only getting about 60 per cent of Haaland's full capabilities as a result.
