Norway coach Stale Solbakken noticed a positional change for Erling Haaland in Manchester City's victory over Arsenal.

Haaland struck again in the 4-1 win.

Solbakken commented on TV2: "This is not just about Erling. It's also about City's style of play.

"They used him in a slightly unconventional way when they used Erling on long balls when Arsenal pressed high.

"He took the ball down and distributed it well. He also had a couple of assists.

"It is not only Erling who has to change. So must Manchester City.

"They need to involve him more, and I think they are doing that to a greater and greater extent. Especially at home."
