Man City fullback Gomez: Haaland was upset with us after derby

Manchester City left-back Sergio Gomez has spoken about the mentality of forward Erling Haaland.

The Norway star scored a hat-trick and laid on two assists in a 6-3 win over Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday.

However, Gomez reveals that Haaland was still not happy with his teammates post-match.

"Yes, we are happy to have him. He's the same in training and sometimes does more spectacular things in the sessions," he said, explaining how Haaland was furious at City conceding three goals in the second half.

"But it's great to have him in the squad. We know what he's capable of. We're happy to have him with us because he's an incredible player.

"When I'm in the dugout, I enjoy Erling the same way you do. He's amazing, we're very happy to have him with us. He's an outstanding player, we are aware how important he is for us and we're used to seeing him more often than you. You see him every three days. But as far as I'm concerned, I try to learn from him as much as I can, especially the hunger and ambition he has.

"He doesn't settle for one goal, he wants to score the second or third, he wants more. The other day in the derby, after conceded the third goal he was a little bit angry because he wanted more, he wanted a clean sheet, so it's important to learn that hunger and ambition he has."
