Erling Haaland makes brutally honest admission when asked how he felt before Man City penalty

Erling Haaland says he's rarely been as nervous as when he stepped up to take a last-minute penalty in Manchester City's 2-1 defeat of Fulham.

City battled hard with 10 men for over an hour at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, and just as it looked like they would have to settle for a point Haaland once again made himself the man of the moment.

Julian Alvarez's first-half opener was cancelled out by an Andreas Pereira penalty, awarded for a last-man foul that earned Joao Cancelo a red card. Pep Guardiola's side plugged away throughout the second half and increased the pressure when Haaland made his return from injury with 25 minutes left to play.
