Erling Haaland has no regrets about his heated moment during the intense clash between Man City and Arsenal on matchday five of the Premier League. The striker was caught by the cameras as he tossed the ball at Gabriel Magalhaes's head following City's last-grasp equaliser.
The gesture caused drama on and off the pitch, as the FA's decision to not sanction the Norwegian was met with a lot of disapproval, causing a mini-war between the two sides. The topic was brought up again during the Haaland's latest press conference on Wednesday ahead of Norway's Nations League match against Slovenia.
"It was in the heat of the moment and a lot of stuff happened in that game," the 24-year-old said. "Things that happen on the football-pitch stay there, that's how it is." When asked if he regretted the toss, Haaland immediately responded: "I don't regret much in life."
Haaland will lead Norway during the international break with the captain's armband on, as regular-captain Martin Odegaard continues his period on the sidelines due to injury. Norway face Slovenia on Thursday before travelling away to face Austria.
