Erling Haaland is perhaps responsible of the miss of the season.
MANCHESTER, England: Erling Haaland is perhaps responsible of the miss of the season.
The prolific Manchester City striker was barely two yards (meters) from the aim when Phil Foden’s header reached him late within the first half of the derby towards Manchester United within the Premier League on Sunday.
United goalkeeper Andre Onana was nowhere to be seen. Haaland couldn’t miss.
He did.
The Norway worldwide — the highest striker within the Premier League final season and a generational expertise — gave the impression to be caught between heading the ball and volleying it. He opted for the volley and couldn’t maintain the ball down, ballooning the ball over the crossbar.
Haaland atoned for his evident miss by scoring City’s third aim to finish the staff’s second-half restoration from 1-0 all the way down to win 3-1.
