Manchester City’s star striker Erling Haaland was visibly frustrated during their recent Premier League clash, with former England international Joe Cole suggesting that Haaland looked ready to confront teammate Rico Lewis and Bournemouth’s Lloyd Kelly for their over-the-top celebrations.
During the tense encounter, City managed to secure a crucial victory, but emotions ran high on the pitch. As City players celebrated, Haaland appeared displeased, with Joe Cole speculating that the Norwegian forward was annoyed by the excessive reactions. Speaking as a pundit, Cole joked that Haaland was “thinking of smashing” Lewis and Kelly for their celebrations, hinting at the striker’s intense competitive nature.
Haaland, known for his relentless drive and winning mentality, has often been seen as a player who demands full focus on the game rather than showboating. His reaction reflects the high standards he sets for himself and his teammates.
Manchester City remains in a fierce title race, and every match is crucial in their pursuit of another Premier League crown. With Haaland leading the attack, City fans will be hoping his frustration translates into even more dominant performances on the pitch.
