Erling Haaland says Liverpool's defeat at Bournemouth on Saturday shows how tough Manchester City had to fight at Crystal Palace.
City battled hard on a frustrating evening at Palace, waiting patiently before winning a second-half penalty that Haaland coolly dispatched. Haaland praised his side's mentality for remaining calm when chances were going awry, and pointed to Liverpool's lunchtime slip-up at Bournemouth as an example of how tough every game can be in the Premier League.
Haaland also hailed the significance of the result in the title race, with City reducing the gap to Arsenal to two points, knowing the Gunners will play twice before the Blues next play in the league.
