April 2026

Erling Haaland scored in City’s 2-1 win over Arsenal, then triggered a live apology from Sky Sports after using profanity in his post-match interview while praising Bernardo Silva’s defending. Haaland compared Bernardo Silva’s display to Fabio Cannavaro’s, using foul language on air. Sky muted the moment and later apologised, while the result itself pushed City to within three points of Arsenal in the title race.
