Manchester City striker Erling Haaland admits it was a "nervous" evening after victory at Tottenham.

City won 2-0 thanks to a brace from Haaland.

He said: "It was a bit horrible. A lot of emotions, we were nervous, which is normal for these types of games, but we won. That was the goal, I don't care how we won. We won. Now on to the next one."

On the pressure of his penalty at the end, Haaland said: "I was really nervous, scared of course, but also a bit excited. It was all about getting the ball into the back of the net. That's what I did, so happy, relaxed, focus on the next one."

On the routine ahead of Sunday's final round, he added: "Relax. Don't think too much. Relax with our families and train together. Keep on doing what we have been doing now for 37 games straight, try not to think too much, focus and have fun. I don't think about last season now. Relax, don't think and just focus on the next game."
