in the end he bursts out laughing – Corriere.it

To the Manchester City the networks of Foden and Bernardo Silva to get the better of Newcastle and to get to -2 fromarsenal leaders, before the Gunners – a few hours later – reassembled the Bournemouth (up 2-0) with the winning shot in the last second (97′) by Nelson. Guardiola did not see the cheer Haaland therefore, with the Norwegian – 33 goals in 34 seasonal matches and close to a new rich sponsorship deal – who remained dry for the ninth Premier game. But the 22-year-old still made himself noticed when, after a foul on Grealish, he suddenly sprinted for 40 meters with the only goal of defending his teammate, accused by Dan Burnperpetrator of the foul, of having accentuated the contact too much.

Brawl and laughter

Arrived at the scene of the crime, Haaland pounced on the defender, who is not exactly the classic person with whom it is better to raise your voice (over two meters). A clash between giants therefore (the Norwegian, for some a sort of cyborg, reaches 195 centimeters), with Burn vehemently pulling the opponent and vice versa. Not that the weather was serene, because in the moments before they had already thought about warming up spirits Ruben Dias, Rodri and Ederson, forcing other Newcastle players to intervene as well. Finally Haaland, among the angriest, in the middle of the brawl broke out in a rather unusual laugh in those circumstances. A grin that he will also repeat in the final, when City find themselves at the flag and rely on their striker to hide the ball, wasting as much time as possible. He may not have scored like in the first leg, but Haaland still didn’t go unnoticed.
