What Haaland had to say about his penalty goal against Fulham

Erling Haaland says he is human by revealing the penalty he took on Saturday against Fulham “It was one of the most nerve-wracking moments of my life.” Many believe that the author of 18 goals in the Premier (of which he is overwhelmingly the top scorer, with 8 more than Harry Kane) is not from this world, but, after changing the highest penalty that gave Manchester City the victory from Pep Guardiola and the leadership (2-1), Haaland wants to make it clear that he did.

Haaland, 22, told the Sky Sports channel: “I was nervous. It was one of the most nervous moments of my life. A last minute penalty? Nervous, of course. But the situation had to be resolved and I did it.” The feeling of scoring was incredible. “I love him. I’ve been injured for a week and it’s very important for us to win.”

The Norwegian star started on the bench missed City’s last two games (with two wins for Guardiola’s men, 0-1 against Leicester in the Premier League and 3-1 against Sevilla in the Champions League) due to a foot injury.

Haaland decided the match in the 95′ with this being the second penalty he took on his new team. He now has 18 goals in the Premier (in 12 games) and 23 in all competitions (in 17 games).

“Anyway, the point is to score. An incredible feeling. We need the three points”, also said Haaland, who entered the field in the 64th minute to replace Julián Álvarez, scorer of the ‘citizens’ first goal at 16′. Andreas Pereira scored a short-term penalty for Marco Silva’s Fulham in the 28th minute.
