All in a night's work for Erling Haaland. But surely Rio Ferdinand is sick of watching 7-0s?
It represented a slight change of tack from Ferdinand, who mocked Manchester City for their light show before the game.“We don’t need all these lights. We don’t need these lights. We don’t need these lights at Old Trafford.Fellow pundit Joleon Lescott was on hand to deliver a necessary retort: “Yeah, well these are Champions League lights. Europa League don’t need these lights.”The 22-year-old added: “I love this competition, as everybody knows. Five goals. To win 7-0 at home. I’m so happy.
“A lot of goals today, I didn’t think. I was just doing it. On the penalty, I was just trying to get the ball into the back of the net. Same with the second goal. Same with the third goal. Same with every goal. I didn’t think on every single goal. “So I think a lot of it is just being quick in the mind and to do the right thing and try to put it where the keeper is not. A little bit of it, of course, is quality, but a lot of it is in the head.”taking him off in the 63rd minute on five goals, Haaland said: “I told him when I went off, ‘I would love to score a double hat-trick!’. But what can we do? We have to go off.”
