Erling Haaland admits match-winning penalty "one of the most nervous moments of my life"

Erling Haaland claimed standing over his winning penalty for Manchester City was "one of the most nervous moments of my life".

The Norwegian, who began the day on the bench as he recovered from injury, was introduced with 26 minutes remaining and stepped up for the defending champions as they saw off Fulham. City were made to work for their winner as they played for over an hour with ten men.

Joao Cancelo was dismissed but it didn't stop Pep Guardiola's side, who secured the three points in stoppage time. Haaland converted from 12 yards after Kevin De Bruyne had been fouled by Antonee Robinson, but claimed it was among the most nervous moments he'd experienced.
