Carragher said: “So two nil, some goal, two nil.”
A confused Haaland said: “What?”
At this moment, Gary Neville came in with: “Apologies for his accent.”
After presenter Kelly Cates clarified what Carragher said, the former defender joked: “You are a great goalscorer, you'll never be a pundit!”
To which Haaland hilariously replied: “Thank you for that mate. Appreciate that.”Speaking about the incident, the Norwegian said: “It was because of the last action when Bernardo didn’t play me in – he [Pep] was a bit mad at me.
“Everyone sees I’m developing my game. I try my best every day – it’s a pleasure to work with Pep, I don’t know if there is anyone better for a young player as I’m still young, don’t forget. I just have the enjoy the chaos around me and perform on the pitch.”Whilst Guardiola also cleared up the incident, he said to Match of the Day: “He wanted the ball in behind to him and that ball hasn't to be in behind. Sometimes you have to be patient to find the right moment.
“He was not frustrated, I am not frustrated. In football it happens. Don't be dramatic.”
