A City fan jumped on Erling Haaland

One Manchester City fan was bundled out of Brammall Lane by security after running on to the pitch to celebrate with Erling Haaland after the Norwegian scored.

The City supporter managed to leap on to the talismanic striker, who didn’t seem to bothered about the fact the fan had evaded stewards to get on to the pitch. The fan latched on to Haaland’s back and embrace the goalscorer from behind.

Replays showed that the fan seemed to even kiss the striker on the neck before security could reach him. Once they did, he was swiftly removed from the field of play and Haaland continued to celebrate with his team-mates.

The moment was just one of many notable incidents for the striker during City’s clash against Sheffield United. Earlier on, in the first half, Haaland was guilty of missing a penalty, with his effort from 12 yards striking the the upright before eventually being cleared by the Blades defence.

Before he got his customary goal, Haaland also missed a number of chances, with Sheffield United goalkeeper Wes Foderingham thwarting the Norway international on a number of occasions.
