- Erling Haaland enjoyed a dream Premier League debut for Manchester City, scoring twice.
- But he was annoyed at himself for not scoring more, so much so he cursed live on air.
Erling Haaland hilariously cursed twice live on television after he enjoyed a dream English Premier League for Manchester City.
The 22-year-old, who joined City from Borussia Dortmund this summer, scored twice as manager Pep Guardiola's side beat West Ham United 2-0 in its first match of the season on Sunday.
Despite scoring a brace, however, Haaland revealed after the match that he was unhappy at himself for missing a chance to score a hat-trick having blazed over a header from close range.
Asked about the missed chance by Sky Sports reporter Geoff Shreeves, the Norwegian said: "It's a bit shit, but that's how it is."
Shreeves told Haaland to watch his language. He apologized by accidentally swearing again.
"Sorry, shit, sorry," he said, as he and Shreeves both burst into laughter. "It's not good language in this country!"

Haaland arrived in England this summer having scored 86 goals in just 89 games across the last three seasons for Dortmund.
And against West Ham, it didn't take him long to open his account for his new club as he converted from the penalty spot in the 36th minute having been fouled in the box.
Mid-way through the second half, he then doubled his tally for the day when he slotted home Kevin de Bruyne's neat through-ball in trademark fashion.
Guardiola revealed his delight in Haaland's performance after the match, going as far as to compare him to the Barcelona and Argentina legend Lionel Messi.
"I was fortunate as manager to be with Messi and when he scored two, he wanted three, and when scored three he wants four," the Spaniard said.
"The top goalscorers are never satisfied; they are always hungry and starving and want more."
