Erling Haaland unable to resist comment to Dortmund staff in tunnel after Man City winner

Erling Haaland joked with a member of Borussia Dortmund's staff after scoring the winner on Wednesday night as he asked them not to "beat him up".

The Norwegian was squaring off against his former team just months after leaving them for a new challenge in England. The German side know all about how prolific Haaland can be after he scored 86 times for them in 89 games. He has now carried on that form with City.

His 84th minute winner completed a turnaround at the Etihad after Jude Bellingham had put Dortmund ahead. Haaland came across a member of the Bundesliga club's staff in the tunnel and, with a smile, jokingly said "don't beat me up" as he kept on walking.
