That’ll do for today. Thanks for your company and emails – bye!

Erling Haaland speaks

It’s an important win, three points, and now we can focus on the next game. [After a long question about his goals record] Not bad, 25 goals this season. Thanks for that.

I’ve got a not-too-bad manager who pushes me. And look at the players around me. I’ve said it so many times before: without them, it would not be possible to score these goals.

I try to develop every single day. I have some problems here and there but let’s not focus on that, let’s focus on the positive things and looked ahead. We’ve got four finals left this season and we’re gonna go for it.

[On his second goal] It’s a beautiful goal. Yeah, I think my father’s gonna be happy with that one – he’s been telling me to try to head the ball at the highest point and that’s exactly what I did. I enjoyed that one.

[On the fourth] It was a beautiful goal, I have to say that. Great ball from Phil. I don’t know what more I can say.

[Has Pep been reminding the team about goal difference?] Yyynnnnah. First of all, it’s about winning the games. Of course we want the best possible goal difference, but let’s not think about that. Think about Fulham.
