Erling Haaland broke his silence following Manchester City’s shocking 2-1 defeat to Bournemouth. Andoni Iraola’s players overcame the Premier League champions at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday afternoon, giving Liverpool a significant boost in the early stages of the Premier League title race.
Antoine Semenyo put the Cherries ahead in the opening minutes before Evanilson etched his name on the scoresheet around the hour mark. Josko Gvardiol pulled one back for City in the final seconds, but Bournemouth weathered the storm on the south coast.
With Brighton winning their match, Pep Guardiola’s side now faces a two-point gap in the title race. After the game, Haaland took to Instagram to express his frustration.
“Head down, back to work,” wrote the 24-year-old goal machine in the caption of a selfie from the match. Gvardiol also posted on his Instagram, sharing a moment with Tyler Adams, whom he referred to as “Brate,” which means “brother” in Croatian.
The two players featured together 30 times for RB Leipzig during the 2021/2022 season, finishing fourth in the Bundesliga, reaching the Europa League semifinals, and winning the DFB-Pokal. However, in the post-match press conference after the game against Bournemouth, Guardiola remarked that his players were not as strong as the Cherries.
