Erling Haaland and Pep Guardiola had a bloody unusual chinwag after Manchester City's dramatic win over Leeds United, and it looked like the striker was getting a right earful from his boss.
City managed to nick a 3-2 victory thanks to Phil Foden's late winner, but Haaland, the big Norwegian muppet, couldn't find the back of the net for the third game running. No wonder he looked like he had a face like a smacked arse after the match.
Haaland's goal drought continues
The lad's got 19 goals in 19 games for City, which isn't too shabby, but he's still one goal away from joining the Premier League 100 Club. If he doesn't score against Fulham on Tuesday, he'll be crying into his £500,000-a-week paycheck.
Alan Shearer, the bloke who's got more Premier League goals than anyone else, took 124 games to reach 100 goals. Haaland's played 111, so he's got a bit of time to catch up, but the way he's going, he might never get there.
City edge past Leeds in a thriller
Foden got City off to a flyer with a goal inside the first minute, and Josko Gvardiol made it two midway through the first half. Leeds pulled one back after the break through Dominic Calvert-Lewin, and Lukas Nmecha equalised from the spot after his penalty was saved.
But Foden, the little ginger maestro, popped up with a late winner to keep City's title hopes alive. They're four points behind Arsenal, who play Chelsea on Sunday, so they'll be hoping their London rivals slip up.
In the meantime, Haaland needs to pull his finger out and start scoring again, or he'll be getting more than a stern talking to from Guardiola. The beautiful game, eh? It's never dull when you're a football thug.
