After Manchester City destroyed Arsenal with a 4-1 win at the Etihad Stadium, Erling Haaland mocked his side’s title rivals on Instagram.
In the build-up to the contest, the £51.2 million (Eurosport) man has posted suggestive posts online hinting at being a headache for the Gunners.
After breaking Mohamed Salah’s Premier League goal record for a single season against Arsenal, Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland decided to fire shots at his side’s title foes on Instagram.

While the 22-year-old was uncharacteristically wasteful in terms of his finishing, his all-round performance was jaw-dropping, as he picked up two assists and a goal while bullying the Gunners’ centre-back pair.
As quoted by the Mirror, the Norwegian goalscorer said back in December, “Arsenal, we have to hunt them.”
After Manchester City tore Arsenal to shreds on Wednesday night, Erling Haaland took to Instagram to caption his post, saying, “Hunting.”
Digs do not get clearer, as the wonderkid, branded as ‘incredible’ by Pep Guardiola was taking the mick out of Mikel Arteta and Co. after starring in his side’s statement win.

Talking smack is only permissible if a player backs up with his performance.
That is exactly what Erling Haaland did for Manchester City in a potential title decider against Arsenal, which gives him a right to mock them.
Throughout the campaign, the former Borussia Dortmund sensation has been accused of making his current employers somehow worse due to his inclusion.
But in what has been a record-breaking season for Haaland, he has well and truly silenced all his doubters, while toying with Arteta and Co.
Manchester City fans will even grow fonder than they already are of the boyhood fan of the club for revelling in the title rivalry.
