Manchester City striker Erling Haaland admits trailing Arsenal isn't good enough.

The Gunners are five points clear of City at the top of the Premier League table.

Haaland said: "I feel like I settled into the team and the league that I had to adapt to. I'm happy with how it all started. But it's not about me. It's about the team, how we perform, and the second half of the season is now the most important.

"We're in a good position, we've had a lot of good matches, but we're second in the Premier League and that's not where we want to be at the end of the season.

"Now our task is to return to the previous level and play the way we can.

"We will focus on getting in shape, getting ready and then going to Liverpool to get a positive result and give our fans a reason to rejoice in the second half of the season."
