Manchester City fans have praised Erling Haaland for the passion he showed at full-time as the Blues beat Crystal Palace 1-0 at Selhurst Park. City found it difficult to break down a stubborn Palace side on Saturday evening with the likes of Rodri, Jack Grealish and Haaland all going close to breaking the deadlock.
However, Pep Guardiola's team had the perfect chance to take the lead in the 78th minute. Michael Olise tripped Ilkay Gundogan in the area to earn the spot kick. Haaland stepped up and coolly wrong-footed Vicente Guaita to win the match.
His goal was the 33rd of the season for the Norwegian who has enjoyed a dream debut season in the Premier League. At full-time Haaland could not hide his delight at the result.
