Manchester City striker Erling Haaland said the result was all that mattered ​after his side claimed a 1-0 Premier ‌League win at Burnley on Wednesday which lifted them above Arsenal on goals scored.

The Norwegian ​scored the only goal despite City ​registering 28 shots, nine of them on ⁠target.

“We had a lot of chances ​but I’m happy, we won and that’s ​the most important thing,” Haaland told Sky Sports.

“It’s all about winning, no matter how. We try to ​play our football and we just ​try to win, that’s what you need in ‌your ⁠mindset.

“Don’t think about goals, think about winning.”

Both Man City and Arsenal have 70 points from 33 games and an identical ​goal difference ​of ⁠plus 37 with five matches left to play. City are top ​by virtue of having scored ​three ⁠more goals than the London side.

City next host Southampton in the FA Cup semi-finals ⁠on ​Saturday, before facing Everton in ​the Premier League on May 4.
