Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has been told that he is a 'lucky man' for avoiding a straight red card in the Blues' Premier League clash with Everton on New Year's Eve.
The Norwegian frontman opened the scoring for Pep Guardiola's side against the Toffees, with the 22-year-old grabbing his 21st goal of the Premier League season so far. The home side were comfortable in the first period, but the game was played on the edge and Haaland went down early with an injury.
He seemingly felt that the Everton players were targeting him throughout the first half, later reacting by chasing down Toffees defender Vitalii Mykolenko, before sliding in with a poor challenge - earning himself a yellow card in the process.
