Haaland has pain in sensitive area

On the night of October 26, Erling Haaland demonstrated his relentless fighting spirit when he tried to score for Man City in the 0-1 loss to Aston Villa in round 9 of the Premier League.

The effort caused Haaland to be hurt.

In the 89th minute at Villa Park, Erling Haaland rushed into the 5.5m area with his usual speed and determination, receiving a cross from Omar Marmoush. The Norwegian striker had time to touch the ball, sending it over the goal line, but before his joy could be complete, the linesman immediately raised his flag for offside.

In that effort, Haaland hit the goal hard, holding his groin in pain and wincing on the ground. Although he did not score, the image of the 25-year-old striker writhing in agony after his "devotion" quickly spread widely. On social networks, fans both admired and humorously commented: "Haaland sacrificed... the future Haaland generation just for an offside goal", "What a dedication", or "He really gave his 'genitals' to the team".

The incident summed up the relentlessness of Haaland, who has been on a scoring streak since August 31, when he netted in a 2-1 defeat to Brighton. He has now scored 22 goals in 12 games, including five for Norway in a win over Moldova.

The disallowed tackle at Villa Park only highlighted Haaland’s warrior qualities: always giving his all for the team, regardless of the result. However, his efforts were not enough to prevent Manchester City from losing 0-1 to Aston Villa – the Citizens’ third consecutive defeat at this stadium.

At the end of round 9 of the Premier League, Pep Guardiola's team was widened to 6 points by Arsenal and let Manchester United catch up in points. A disappointing night for City, but Haaland - with his "fighting to the end" spirit - still made fans take their hats off.
