Erling Haaland trolled by dad Alfie with amusing dig after late Man City winner

Erling Haaland's dad Alfie has jokingly trolled his son after the striker came off the bench to score a late winner for Manchester City against Fulham.

The Norwegian was only fit enough to be named among the substitutes as he recovers from an injury suffered against Borussia Dortmund. But with 10-man City struggling to break down the Cottagers, Haaland was brought on to replace Julian Alvarez up front.

He duly delivered for Pep Guardiola's title-challenging side, squeezing home a penalty in injury-time to claim the three points. That goal means that he continues his stunning start to his Premier League career, with the 21-year-old having scored 18 times in just 12 games.
