Top striker Erling Haaland said he was proud of Manchester City’s attitude, mentality and character after they beat Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield in Sunday’s Premier League match.
Liverpool undefeated before the game suffered the humiliation after Ryan Gravenberch was sent off for a second yellow card. Goals from Haaland, Jérémy Doku and Rayan Cherki ensured that City maintained their winning streak of six wins from six games.
“It’s part of City and every single fan,” he began. “It’s a lovely moment that will stick with us for a long time, when it comes to the feeling of after the game and in the game.
“It was tough and hard. We showed amazing character from Gigio at the back, all the way to the front. I’m so proud of everyone. It’s always tough to come here. It’s about these times to stay strong mentally and stick together. And do what you can do something about. What we can do is play good football and fight together. That’s the only thing we can do.
“In the end you want to win games, it’s as simple as that. Perform well, play good football and win games. This was a mental battle because we came back from internationals, and it’s never easy to come back to the first game after being away for over two weeks. I’m proud that we managed to stick together so well. We are mentally strong.
“I’m proud of that and proud of the team for scoring three goals at Anfield because it’s not often that happens. In the end I’m proud of everyone.”
