Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has played down his recent form, saying he is “just doing my job” after scoring a brace against Bournemouth.

The 25-year-old was City’s main man once again as he scored twice to help his side earn a 3-1 Premier League win over Bournemouth on Sunday (November 2).

Haaland already has 18 goals in his 16 games across all competitions, as Man City move into second, six points off Premier League leaders Arsenal.

Speaking after the win over Bournemouth, nonchalant as ever, Haaland insisted he’s simply doing his job.

"Important win. It is good to bounce back after losing a bad away game. It was nice,” he said.

"I tried to contribute for the team by doing my job. It is good to win. Now two more important games to come, so keep focusing.

"I didn't score last game. I try to help the team to win. That is my goal and even by scoring or helping in winning duels it doesn't matter. I want to help the team become better, that is my job."
