And eagled-eyed fans were quick to pick up on his ref spray antics.

"He's doing side quests now," quipped one fan.

"Football is too easy for him," said a second user online.

Another said: "He's taking the mick now..."
One City fan said: "Biggest forward I (have) ever seen. Doing (side) quest, make a score and good person. We are so lucky, cause he's playing in our team. "

Meanwhile, a rival fan said: "I actually hate the fact that I can’t hate this man."


Football is so easy for this guy, he's resorted to doing side quests

Others are in the style of Van Gogh, Barack Obama’s Hope campaign poster and a church stained-glass window.
The record-breaking Norwegian, 22, is also shown as both Jack and Rose in the bow scene from Titanic.
Rory, from Cardiff, said: “Erling Haaland is my muse. I’ve painted him over 100 times in many different ways.”
Asked why pick him, he added: “Why does anyone paint anything?


"Why did Monet paint water lilies? Why did da Vinci paint the Mona Lisa? Why did cavemen paint animals with faeces in caves?”

He added the works were not for sale.

Refusing to give more details, he said: “My reasons will remain a mystery”.

Haaland, 22, has so far scored 48 goals in his first Premier League season.

How many goals per season would Kane score for City? Haaland should be fined a weeks wages for his performance today. He has one job, and his team mates made it almost impossible to not do it twice today and both times he shit the bed. He should've had that game out of sight for City, but fortunately for us it appears he's not the messiah.

I prefer to credit our team with a good performance instead of saying we only got a point because Haaland didn't turn up. We earned that point fair and square and our players worked insanely hard to make it happen.

Bring on the Hammers.
 
He's incredible.
That was my assessment when I saw him against West Ham yesterday. Very good off the ball and getting himself involved in the game but unlike Harry he's a lot more direct in his play. Erling isn't trying to be a number 10, he's saying "Here I am! Give me the ball so I can go downfield and score again!".

We can't deny that Man City will be much harder to beat with him in their team. Difficult but not impossible - our defenders will have their work cut out to anticipate his runs.
