Tim Sherwood has lauded "big-game player" Erling Haaland after the Manchester City striker's late goal secured his side the three points against Crystal Palace.
Haaland confidently tucked home a penalty on 78 minutes after a battling display at Selhurst Park, closing the gap on league leaders Arsenal. The Norwegian was evidently relieved to have won it for City after missing a glorious chance in the opening half hour.
That penalty earned more vital points for the Blues in the title race. Of their 61 points so far this season, Haaland's goals alone have won an incredible 20 - proof of the 22-year-old's importance in the biggest moments this season.
