Erling Haaland speaks out on tense clash with Porto defender during Man City win

Jump to contentAllNewsSportCultureLifestyleErling Haaland alleged that Porto player Pablo Rosario grabbed his bottom during stoppage time of Manchester City's 2-0 Champions League victory at the Estadio do Dragao, following a match in which the Norwegian striker scored twice. The match was marred by multiple confrontations, including a half-time tunnel altercation involving pushing and shoving that required security intervention after Porto players were left furious that City defender Marc Guehi was not sent off for striking Gabri Veiga. Uefa is awaiting reports from referee Szymon Marciniak and the match delegate to decide whether formal disciplinary action or financial penalties will be pursued against Manchester City following the tunnel chaos. Porto manager Francesco Farioli argued the outcome of the fixture could have been significantly different had Marc Guehi received a red card and Josko Gvardiol been shown a second yellow card for unsporting behaviour. Following his match-winning performance, Haaland revealed that his improved heading ability, which yielded his fifth goal in three games, was down to dedicated practice drills with his father, Alf-Inge Haaland.
