You rarely hear that Erling Haaland has squandered a chance in front of goal. But that instance turned true on Saturday.
The Manchester City striker opened the scoring five minutes in against Southampton but struggled to bag another for the remainder of the 90 minutes.
One particular opportunity will surely haunt Haaland after he missed a chance to double the lead near the hour mark.
The 24-year-old found himself only two yards out from Aaron Ramsdale’s goal at the back post but was denied by the goalkeeper.
Miss of the season contender? 🫣

It turns out Haaland is, in fact, human. Could this be a potential Miss of the Season?
