Keown on stopping Man City striker Haaland: Pinch or step on the foot

Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown says the one way to stop Manchester City striker Erling Haaland is by performing the dark arts.

Everton stopper Yerry Mina was called out by City manager Pep Guardiola for his tactics against Haaland in Saturday's win.

But Keown said in his Daily Mail: "At the moment, Haaland thinks he can beat anyone, but you need to make him doubt himself.

"Pinch or step on the foot. You have to get inside his head and intimidate, always be in his way.

"You have to unbalance him."
