Erling Haaland demonstrated his unhappiness at being subbed despite scoring four goals in Man City’s 5-1 win over Wolves on Saturday; Roy Keane branded the forward’s behaviour as being like that of a “spoilt brat”; Haaland said on Saturday he doesn’t “care very much” about Keane.
Roy Keane says Erling Haaland behaved like a “spoilt brat” when he was substituted after scoring four goals in Manchester City’s 5-1 win over Wolves.
Haaland extended his lead as the top flight’s top scorer against Wolves and briefly looked capable of becoming the first player to score a double hat-trick in a Premier League game.
However, Pep Guardiola removed his striker after 82 minutes, with Haaland clearly unhappy as he took his place on the bench.
Keane hit out at Haaland’s reaction on Sky Sports’ Super Sunday, saying: “We saw Haaland yesterday being brought off, behaving like a spoilt brat.
“When they win the game and he scores goals, it’s almost forgotten about.”
When Sky Sports host Dave Jones joked it was OK for Haaland to behave like a ‘spoilt brat’ given he had scored four goals, Keane replied: “No, not really. It’s not.”
It is not the first time this season Keane has criticised Haaland, with the former Manchester United captain likening his play to that of a “League Two player” in March.
