Erling Haaland's unseen Scotland gesture of admiration as Man City superstar seeks out EPL rival

Erling Haaland may have felt shell-shocked from Scotland's two knockout blows in Oslo but the Manchester City forward took a moment to show respect for one Scots hero before a historic comeback.

The Norwegians were five minutes away from seeing off Steve Clarke's side who had defied the odds against Spain earlier in the campaign to give the Tartan Army another precious memory for the history books. It seemed the sizzling Scandinavian heat would be Scotland's undoing before Lyndon Dykes poked the ball home and a mere 90 seconds later the ball was in the back of the net from substitute Kenny McLean.

It was a stunning turn of events that saw heroes John McGinn and skipper Andy Robertson take the plaudits for a masterclass against the likes of Haaland and beleaguered Arsenal man Martin Odegaard who couldn't quite believe what Clarke's side had achieved in the blink of an eye.
