Erling Haaland stuns fans with x-rated interview after finally ending goal drought

Erling Haaland dropped an expletive in an interview with Sky Sports after ending a four-game goal drought and helping Manchester City finally get back to winning ways.

City endured their worst run under Pep Guardiola and dropped down the table after a series of poor results, which continued on Boxing Day when they drew 1-1 with Everton at home.

Haaland missed a crucial penalty that was saved by Jordan Pickford and looked devoid of confidence as his difficulties in front of goal carried on.

But the Norwegian was back on the scoresheet on Sunday as the champions ran out 2-0 winners away at Leicester City, bagging the second to secure the win after Savinho opened the scoring with his first goal for the club in the first half.

Despite being out of form, Haaland is now two goals off leading scorer Mo Salah following his header 16 minutes from time. He spoke to Sky's Emma Saunders on the pitch at King Power Stadium and not for the first time, couldn't resist some colourful language.

Reflecting on the team's struggles, Haaland said, "S**t happens" and all viewers watching instantly picked up on the former Borussia Dortmund striker casually swearing.

"Things happen and we have to keep going and stay positive"

City's win was just their second in their last 10 Premier League games and a first away from home in all competitions since October.

They now find themselves up to fifth in the table on 31 points after achieving a much-needed victory in Guardiola's 500th game in charge of City.

Haaland focused on the next game

Having finally put an end to a wretched run, City's next game is a home clash with West Ham at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday 4 January and Haaland is looking forward to a rest after a demanding period.

"Yeah of course," he said when asked if City can take confidence from the win.

"And it's been a difficult time as I said. Now it's New Year so don't think too much about football because it's actually five or six days until the next game, maybe seven. I think it's the longest time in a pretty long period and now we can rest a little bit and go again on the fourth."
