Keane brands Man City striker Haaland 'spoiled brat'

Manchester City forward Erling Haaland behaved poorly after being substituted against Wolves.

That is the view of Roy Keane, who was scathing in criticism of Haaland earlier this season.

The Norway forward was upset at not being able to see out the 5-1 win over Wolves, during which he had already scored four goals.

"We saw Haaland yesterday being brought off, not too happy, behaving like a spoiled brat, but because they win the game and he scores goals, it's almost forgotten about," Keane claimed on Sky Sports.

"He was frustrated with the referee," City manager Pep Guardiola explained post-match.

"With the long balls sometimes they push him and he is pulled. He went down and sometimes it was no foul. It happens every game a lot of times.

“He was just a bit frustrated for these actions but I can guarantee how happy he was today."
