Manchester City beat Brighton & Hove Albion 2-1 on Saturday, with Julian Alvarez and Erling Haaland scoring the goals for Pep Guardiola’s side.
For the Norwegian striker it was his first goal in three Premier League matches, which given his standards is something of a mini-drought.
During the match, Haaland had a little confrontation with Brighton’s Jan Paul van Hecke, and this was mentioned by Norway’s TV2 after the game.
That angered the Manchester City player, who took to Instagram to say TV2 should have concentrated on him ending his mini goal drought, and he called them “Clowns”.
They also contacted Egil Østenstad, who is said to have a leading role role in ‘Team Haaland’, and he didn’t respond. The same goes for the player’s father Alfie.
During the international break, Norway lost 1-0 to Spain with both Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard being questioned for lacklustre displays. There’s every chance this is all motivated by that.
