Haaland missed a penalty when Rodri became the hero
Erling Braut Haaland, 23, long out to be the scapegoat away against Sheffield United.
This after conceding a penalty.
Once the goal came, the big star was attacked by a happy supporter.
Manchester City have started the season with three straight victories.
The newcomers Sheffield United were defeated away from home.
But it was far from over for last year’s champions who were eventually able to leave Bramall Lane with a 2-1 win.
Erling Braut Haaland missed a penalty for the first time in the Premier League when he hit the post from eleven meters in the first half.
A frustrated Norwegian, held tight by Anel Ahmedhodzic, then had another handful of chances that he failed to manage.
Rodri hero
But with half an hour to play, the 23-year-old met a cross from Jack Grealish to score his third goal of the season.
At the celebration, a happy supporter was the first to reach Haaland. Before security guards later lifted the man away, he had time to jump on the City striker and celebrate the goal.
Sheffield equalized late through Jayden Bogle, but in the final minutes the Spaniard Rodri was able to score 2–1 to the visitors.
The victory also came in Pep Guardiola’s absence. The coach has undergone emergency back surgery and is at home in Barcelona. In his absence, assistant Juanma Lillo led the team.
