- Erling Haaland didn’t have a single shot as Man City lost at Wembley
- But his father reminded people of the dangers of underestimating the Norwegian
Erling Haaland’s father, Alfie, has mocked Arsenal in a sarcasm-laced tweet – reminding everyone not to get complacent after his son threw a blank card in the Community Shield final.
The Manchester City star player failed to register a shot and was substituted in the 64th minute as they lost 4-1 to Arsenal after a 1-1 draw.
However, fans will remember Haaland’s woes in last year’s final and the ridicule that ensued before he humiliated the critics with a record 52-goal season.
Alfie tweeted: ‘Well done Arsenal, great win. You must now be the league’s favorite” with a winking emoji.
It was a retweet of another post suggesting that Premier League fans shouldn’t get too excited by his one game dip, due to how he blitzed last season after a poor Community Shield final.
