Erling Haaland hit the post from the penalty spot to give Sheffield United a massive let-off against Manchester City in today’s Premier League encounter.
However, the blonde went on to make up for the lost opportunity when he hammered in a goal in the second half.
Jayden Bogle scored for Sheffield in the 85th minute, while Erling Haaland (63”) and Rodri (88”) lifted Man City with a goal apiece.
Referee Jarred Gillett did not hesitate to point to the spot when John Egan was adjudged to have handled Julian Alvarez’s cut-back.
But when Haaland stepped up to take the penalty, his effort rattled off the post while Wes Foderingham dived the wrong way.
It sparked an X-rated chant from the Sheffield United fans, who serenaded the superstar striker with a rendition of ‘you’re just a s*** Billy Sharp’.
It comes after a difficult first-half for City where they enjoyed plenty of possession against United but could not break down a resilient defence.
And with Juanma Lillo in charge with Pep Guardiola absent, all eyes will be on whether the Premier League champions can claim all three points.
