Kevin De Bruyne says his goal celebration for his hat-trick strike against Wolves was not intended as a statement on incoming Manchester City signing Erling Haaland.
De Bruyne scored his first City hat-trick in 17 first-half minutes, curling home a sensational third on 24 minutes, to put the Blues in control at Wolves. His celebration for the third goal sent City fans wild as he appeared to copy Haaland's iconic celebration just one day after news that the Borussia Dortmund striker will join the club in the summer.
Speaking after the game, De Bruyne said he only knew of the Haaland connection when asked in interviews.
