Erling Haaland ‘disrespects Arsenal’ with long hair goal for Man City

Erling Haaland donned a new, natural look in the final stages of Manchester City’s 4-1 victory over Arsenal and fans are convinced the goalscoring phenomenon was ‘disrespecting’ the Gunners by finding the net almost immediately after removing his hairband. The Norwegian’s long locks were on display in the closing stages of the one-sided Premier League title drubbing and Haaland rubbed salt into Arsenal’s wounds by bagging a late fourth to claim his 49th goal of an incredible season.

Haaland usually ties his hair up into a bun but he opted to remove his hairband for the final minutes of the game, something the cameras and BT Sport commentator Darren Fletcher were keen to point out.

The former Borussia Dortmund striker’s determination eventually paid dividends at the death when he finally found a way past Aaron Ramsdale, who had kept him at bay on a number of occasions.

And as Haaland celebrated with his team-mates, football fans on Twitter were adamant the centre-forward was out to taunt his rivals by scoring just seconds after removing the hairband.

Twitter user @maxsho_ wrote: “The disrespect from Haaland to take his hairband out after scoring, this guy’s a troll.”

@NkomoNhlonipho said the same: “Haaland literally letting his hair down and still scoring was the height of disrespect.”

“This brother Haaland really let his hair down like prime Ozzy Osborne in the 92nd minute then cracked one in the net,” added @theboylexx.

@JelaniDavidson also posted: “Haaland let down the hair for the extra powers to get that goal today. If he was his usual self city put bout 8 past Arsenal today tbf, no disrespect to Ramsdale.”
