Erling Haaland has broken his social media silence following on from Roy Keane's comments about him on Sky Sports.
Haaland bagged four goals in Manchester City's 5-1 win over Wolves on Saturday, moving to 25 in the Premier League this term and taking a huge step towards a second consecutive Golden Boot.
But he appeared frustrated when substituted for Julian Alvarez late in the second half as he spoke animatedly to Pep Guardiola.
He then threw tape in anger while on the bench, though Guardiola later claimed his antics were as a result of a number of fouls which were not given against him.

But Keane proceeded to lay into the Norwegian striker and call him a "spoilt brat" while covering Liverpool's 4-2 win over Spurs.
The panel were discussing Mo Salah's touchline row with Klopp at the London Stadium last week.
"We saw Haaland yesterday being brought off, not too happy... behaving like a spoilt brat," Keane said on Sky Sports.
"But because Man City win the game and he scores goals, it’s almost forgotten about."

There was also a tense moment when presenter Dave Jones got a stare-down from Keane after asking whether it was fine to be a "spoilt brat" after scoring four.
Haaland refrained from responding but has now reacted in his own unique way.
On his Instagram story, he posted a picture of a sunset at a beach, with the caption: "Peace".

Haaland and Keane have already been involved in a war of words, after the Manchester United legend said his general play was that of a "League Two player" after City's 0-0 draw with Arsenal.
Haaland's father has history with Keane from their playing days and his record-breaking son issued a cold response on Saturday.
When asked by Viaplay if the League Two level remark had "fired him up" in recent games, he commented: "‘I really don't care about that man, so that's all right."
