Erling Haaland is keeping his feet firmly on the ground as Manchester City's relentless title charge continues. The Norwegian marksman delivered another standout performance, scoring one goal and setting up another in City's commanding 3-0 victory over Brentford at the Etihad Stadium. The win moves Pep Guardiola's side to within just two points of Premier League leaders Arsenal, though Mikel Arteta's Gunners have a chance to restore their five-point cushion when they face West Ham later today.

With City holding a game in hand on Arsenal, the title race remains tantalizingly poised. But Haaland isn't getting caught up in the math. "All we can do is take it one game at a time," the striker emphasized after the match, reflecting a focused mindset that has become a hallmark of Guardiola's champions.

The reality is clear: City must win their remaining three Premier League fixtures and hope Arsenal slip up somewhere along the way. If Arsenal win all their remaining matches, the title stays in North London. But Haaland and his teammates aren't looking that far ahead.

"It feels good to win 3-0," Haaland told mancity.com after the Brentford triumph. "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. Brentford defended well. They are a good team. There are no easy games in the Premier League. So we are happy."

The prolific striker, who continues to add to his astonishing goal tally this season, stressed the importance of recovery and short-term focus. "I haven't thought of any other game. Just tired playing this game. How we approach the next game is to not think of any other games for two days and then try to win the next game. Recover. Then next game and then same again. If you play for Manchester City, you think of titles every single day."

City's immediate challenge comes on Wednesday night when they host Crystal Palace at the Etihad in another crucial Premier League encounter. For Haaland and his teammates, it's all about the next 90 minutes—nothing more, nothing less. In a title race that could go down to the wire, that laser-focused approach might just be their greatest weapon.
