Erling Haaland’s struggles in front of goal continue as the Manchester City striker has a penalty saved by Everton’s Jordan Pickford.
WHAT HAPPENED?THE BIGGER PICTURE
Haaland was in shock after Pickford saved his early second-half penalty, and just seconds later, after scoring a header after the ball came back to him, his misery was compounded by the linesman’s offside flag. The Norwegian and Pep Guardiola will be wondering when the curse will end.
Everton defender Seamus Coleman tried to mess with Haaland before the spot-kick, getting in the Norwegian’s ear and talking to him before it was taken. Coleman was booked by the referee but he won’t care after his mind games paid off.
