Erling Haaland reacts to Kevin De Bruyne goal after missing Man City match through injury

Erling Haaland was in awe as a magnificent Kevin De Bruyne goal helped Manchester City get the better of Leicester City.

Top scorer Haaland sat out Saturday's Premier League game after a combination of illness and injury in the lead-up to the game meant he wasn't risked. The Norwegian managed just 45 minutes in midweek against former club Borussia Dortmund, and Julian Alvarez started ahead of him at the King Power Stadium

While January signing Alvarez failed to add to his two Premier League goals, last season's top league scorer De Bruyne broke the hosts' resistance with a free-kick which gave goalkeeper Danny Ward no chance. It was the first goal the Foxes had conceded since October 8, and Haaland was impressed to say the least.
