Erling Haaland celebrated scoring in Manchester City’s win at Leicester City with a sweary post-match interview live on Sky Sports.
The Premier League champions won 2-0 at the King Power, having not won any of their five previous matches.
Haaland had been struggling for form personally as well, scoring just once in his last seven outings, so it was a good day out for the striker and club as a whole.
The 24-year-old was in pretty blunt mood after the game, though, telling Sky Sports of the result: ‘Not much to say, it’s good to win. Just happy that we’re winning.’
He added, with some surprising language: ‘I think it’s important to look ahead, s**t happens, something can happen. I just swore before, it doesn’t matter.
‘Things happen, we have to keep going, we have to stay positive. Focus on the right things.’
Haaland may have been struggling but his headed effort on Sunday was his 14th Premier League goal of the season.
‘It’s always a relief when you score,’ he said. ‘It was an important goal to go 2-0 up. Leicester did a really good game and were playing really well under the new coach. We knew it was going to be difficult.
‘It’s been a difficult time. Now it’s New Year so let’s not think too much about football! We can rest a bit and then we go again.’
Pep Guardiola’s side climb back up to fifth in the table thanks to the victory and the Catalan looked in good spirits after returning to winning ways.
‘Our mood is in a better position. It was tight in the second half, they were much better,’ he said.
‘We don’t have energy to sustain 90-minutes. Hopefully the New Year can help us bounce back.
‘To get results you have to do something. To do it in the position we have, many good things happened today. It is not enjoyable right now it is just relief. We have done incredible things for many years.’
City return to action against West Ham at the Etihad on 4 January as they look to build on the win given to them by the goals from Haaland and Savinho.
