The Norway striker has been in outstanding form with seven goals so far including back-to-back hat-tricks.
His latest came in the 3-1 victory over West Ham on Saturday as he took his remarkable tally to 69 goals in 69 Premier League appearances.
With Arsenal, the runners-up for the past two seasons, drawing earlier in the day, many pundits saw it as a slip-up but Haaland won’t overthink the title race so early in the campaign.
“The start to the season is good but don’t forget there are 35 games left – there are plenty of points to play for,” he said.
“It’s about focusing game-by-game and to get the three points.
“We can’t think too much because it’s not a good thing for the brain. We focus on trying to become better as a team and as individuals – on and off the pitch.”
Haaland was delighted with City’s performance as we dominated for large parts of the game at the London Stadium.
The Hammers fought their way back into the game and were pushing for an equaliser until our number nine wrapped up the win with his hat-trick goal.
“I’m happy for the win and of course another hat-trick is lovely,” he said.
“I think in the first half we dominated, and we could have scored several goals. In the second half, they had the ball more and chances.
“But in the end, we win and that’s the most important thing. Nine points and seven goals so I cannot complain.
“It’s about winning games and that’s what we did– nine points from three games is a great start.”
Haaland says he is benefitting from a summer break and feels refreshed going into the new campaign following City’s preseason tour to the United States.
“I’ve had problems [with injuries in the past] but let’s not focus on this, let’s focus on now,” he added.
“I’m feeling good, I’m happy, I’m refreshed, and I had a long vacation, a good pre-season and I’ve started well.
“I’m happy and feeling good – that’s the most important thing.
“Only footballers know exactly how important it is to completely log off your football brain and not train or anything.
“I had a fantastic off-season and I’m ready to hopefully have a good season.”
