'I honestly can't remember!': Erling Haaland says Pep Guardiola's tactical half time tweaks were key to Man City's win over Arsenal but admits he FORGOT what the instructions were - before scoring late on to inspire crucial victory

Erling Haaland has admitted he could not remember Pep Guardiola's half-time adjustments, which led to Manchester City beating Arsenal 3-1 in the top of the table clash.

Arsenal had largely been the better side during the first half, but the teams entered the break with the score at 1-1, with Bukayo Saka's penalty cancelling out Kevin De Bruyne's opener.

City improved in the second half with goals from Jack Grealish and Haaland taking the defending champions back to the top of the Premier League for the first time since November.
