Haaland misses once, but not twice

There are no more adjectives to describe Erling Haaland. The Norwegian striker was not about to leave Bramall Lane without adding to his goal tally for Manchester City. 

In the first half the Sky Blues cyborg failed to put his side ahead when his spot-kick, despite deceiving Foderingham, hit the post. However, Haaland misses once but not twice. 

The former Borussia Dortmund man put Pep Guardiola's side ahead in the 63rd minute. The striker finally opened the scoring thanks to a short ball across the box from Grealish, who sent the ball across goal from the left for the Norwegian to head down at the far post past Foderingham.

In doing so, the Manchester City striker scored his 39th Premier League goal in 38 games, which was also his third goal in three games this season.
