Erling Haaland had no filter after Manchester City ended their run of poor away results at Leicester City on Sunday, telling Sky Sports: "s*** happens."

Pep Guardiola's side travelled to the East Midlands for their final fixture of 2024. For the club the year has not ended the way they would have hoped, as they had gone since October 20 without actually triumphing away from home.

Put into a number, that was eight away fixtures in all competitions without a win. This has seen Man City knocked out of the Carabao Cup, slip down the Champions League rankings and also fall away from the Premier League title picture.

But today the stars were back shining again to end 2024 on a high. Goals from Savinho and Haaland ensured the team victory against relegation-threatened Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.

Asked if he will be analysing the performance or just focusing on what is to come, Haaland had a frank, X-rated response.

"I think it’s important to look ahead. S*** happens, that is something that can happen," the Norwegian told Sky Sports, before adding: "You’ve swore before as well so it doesn’t matter. Things happen and we have to keep going, stay positive, focus on the right things and yeah."

Haaland was also asked in his interview about the relief of scoring after four games without a goal, replying: "Yeah, it's always a relief to score and that was an important goal to go 2-0 up.

"Leicester did a really good game and they've been playing really well under the new coach so we knew it was going to be difficult. Every game is difficult and it's about getting the game towards your, I don't know the word in English only in Norwegian so you can translate, favor [meaning favour]. Yeah, that's what you need to do."

With the show moving back to lead presenter Kelly Cates, she commented: "Well, we have our Norwegian translator on standby to get that from Erling Haaland - not quite sure Emma [Saunders]’ Norwegian was there, but you can’t have everything."

Pundit Jamie Redknapp joked: "What was it Kelly? Tell us."

"My Norwegian, not as good as it should be," she jested in turn. "I’ve been working on it but it’s not up to where it should be."
