Erling Haaland was at his best on Saturday as he scored 4 goals in Man City's 5-1 demolition of Wolves at the Etihad. City have their eyes fully concentrated on Premier League glory now having been knocked out of the Champions League by Real Madrid just a fortnight ago.
The Premier League title race is reaching its finale with City duelling it out with Arsenal for the top spot and City have started their trademark ascent up the table that always seems to come at this part of the season. It hasn't been a perfect season for Pep Guardiola's side but they're heating up just at the right time.
Haaland himself has had a few critics in recent months for his lack of involvement in City's build-up play, including former Manchester United captain Roy Keane.
Erling Haaland Answers Back To Roy Keane's League 2 Comments
Roy Keane had previously called Haaland's general play that of a League 2 player. While he has always praised Haaland's finishing ability Keane has felt that his play around the field left a lot to be desired.
Speaking to Viaplay after City's 5-1 win over Wolves, Haaland was asked about Keane's comments and the Norwegian gave a short and sweet reply that pretty much summed up what he thought about Keane and his comment.
I don’t really care that much about that man, so that’s all right
Roy Keane took the chance to further criticise Haaland on Super Sunday when talking about Haaland's reaction to being subbed off during the second half.
We saw Haaland yesterday being brought off, not too happy, behaving like a spoilt brat and because they win the game and he scores goals it's almost forgotten about.

It's fair to say that Roy Keane has a unique relationship with the Haaland family, with his infamous tackle on Erling's dad Alf-Inge and his subsequent comments in his autobiography caused a lot of controversy that still lingers to this day 20 years later.
For Erling Haaland and Manchester City they look to be in pole position to claim their fourth Premier League title in-a-row. They are just one point off Arsenal but have a game in hand, so if they can win out their remaining four matches they'll be champions once again.
