Erling Haaland says Manchester City "think of titles every single day", after maintaining their quest to regain the Premier League crown with victory over Brentford.

Pep Guardiola's side prevailed 3-0 at the Etihad Stadium to move within three points of leaders Arsenal with three games remaining.

Haaland played an instrumental role in the victory, scoring before providing an assist for Omar Marmoush to take his tally of direct goal involvements for the Premier League season to 34 (26 goals, eight assists).

Only in his debut campaign of 2022-23 (44) has the Norway international had a hand in more league goals for City during a single term.

And he insisted City are very much up for the fight to wrestle back the Premier League title they lost last season.

"If you play for Manchester City, you think of titles every single day," he said.

"Brentford defended well. They are a good team. There are no easy games in the Premier League, so we are happy.

"It feels good to win 3-0. We just missed the last shot on goal today. We created a lot of chances and didn't get the last shot on a lot of crosses.

"It's been an up-and-down season. I am trying to do my job and 26 goals is more than last year, so it's OK."

After Arsenal travel to West Ham on Sunday, City host Crystal Palace at the Etihad three days later, hoping to stay within touching distance of the Gunners at the very least.

"How we approach the next game is to not think of any other games for two days," Haaland added. "Then try to win the next game, recover, then next game, and the same again."
