Title race 'not over until it's over' - Haaland

The Premier League title race is "not over until it's over", says Erling Haaland after Manchester City stayed within touching distance of leaders Arsenal.

The Norwegian played a pivotal role in City's incredible comeback against Liverpool on Sunday, providing the assist for Bernardo Silva's equaliser before converting a cool penalty to win the match in injury-time.

Pep Guardiola's side had been staring at a nine-point deficit on the Gunners after Dominik Szobozslai's stunning free-kick, but the visitors turned the game around late on at Anfield.

Asked if the result was bigger than just three points, Haaland replied: "Yes, definitely. It's true. [But] It's three points, it's three points, it's three points, simple as that, no matter who you play, if it is Tottenham or whatever.

"We've seen before that the title race is not over until it's over. So for me right now, I need to recover, eat some good food, and focus on Fulham, because there's still many games."

After making a prolific start to the season, Haaland has struggled in front of goal in recent games with his effort against Liverpool just his third in his past 10 games in all competitions.

He added: "I haven't scored enough goals since the start of this year and I know that I need to improve. I know I need to be more sharp, better at all of this and this is something that I have to work on. I have to keep going because this is what everyone deserves and expects.

"I don't want to speak about why I haven't performed. I don't think there's any excuse. Fatigue is a lot in the head. It's a lot of games.

"Look at the schedule, it's not easy, and for me, it's about staying fit, don't get injured. That's the most important thing and try to be ready to help the team."
