Erling Haaland sends message to critics after spectacular Man City goal

Manchester City pulled off yet another remarkable comeback on Wednesday night, and yet again Erling Haaland was at the heart of the action.

Haaland produced a stunning acrobatic finish in scoring City's second goal against Borussia Dortmund, securing a 2-1 win that put City three points clear at the top of their Champions League group.

For over an hour City were poor, Pep Guardiola's players lacking their usual rhythm, creativity and intensity. Haaland can be included in that; while the 22-year-old didn't do much wrong per se, City's struggles prompted pundits and critics to once again start talking about how little Haaland touches the ball during games.
