HAALAND'S WORDS OF VICTORY: "IT IS A MATTER OF CHARACTER"

Following the unforgettable derby where Manchester City won 1-0 away at Old Trafford despite being down to 10 men, Erling Haaland, the scorer of the winning goal, made striking statements. Speaking to the broadcaster after the match, the Norwegian star stated that playing with 10 men was quite a new experience for him. "I think this hasn't happened a lot in my lifetime, that we go down to 10 men. It's a kind of new experience to win with 10 men, and it's amazing, I have to be honest," he said. Touching upon the mandatory tactical change his team had to make in their game plan, Haaland expressed that they normally like to keep the ball and constantly try to score goals, but they had to lay low after the red card. "These times I think you have to go a bit lower and take your chances when it's possible, and we managed to do that well," the striker noted, adding that this triumph away against Manchester United proved the team's mental strength. Haaland concluded his words by saying, "This shows the personality, the character to keep the ball away at Old Trafford with 10 men. That is personality."
