Arsenal hero Freddie Ljungberg says the key to the success of Erling Haaland is the Manchester City striker's movement off the ball.

Ljungberg discussed the Norway international on Sky Sports on Monday.

He explained: "If he goes short, let's say, and he's in line with a centre back, that sprint just on five yards or so, there's no centre back in the world that can catch him.

"And that's when he goes full tilt. And that's why, in my opinion, he scores so many goals, because he's always in front of the centre back.

"People always talk about technique, players should be technical, and there's stepovers and there's the 'L' turn, I don't really care.

"This [Haaland's movement] for me is technique. There's no small steps in between, it takes time. The first touch is perfect, the second touch, and then the shot comes.

"For me that's the highest level of technique."
