When asked if he regrets throwing a ball at Gabriel Magalhães’s head during Manchester City’s game against Arsenal, Erling Haaland simply replied: ‘I don’t regret much in life.’ During an intense clash between the clubs in September Haaland collected the ball from the net after John Stones’s late equaliser and threw it at the back of the Arsenal defender, who was looking the other way. When asked if he condoned the behaviour in hindsight, Haaland said: ‘It was in the heat of the moment, and a lot of stuff happened in that game. Things that happen on the football pitch stay there, and that’s how it is.’
