In a surprising turn of events, fans found themselves baffled by Erling Haaland’s unconventional celebration following Manchester City’s thrilling 3-2 victory over Newcastle. The star striker, who was absent from the squad due to an injury since December 6, expressed his elation on Instagram after City secured a 90th-minute winner at St James’ Park.
Haaland, watching from home, posted a passionate selfie celebrating the late comeback, accompanied by the caption “Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.” In a lighthearted jest, he mentioned needing a shot after the stress of the match, but fans were left amused when he shared a picture of a glass of milk as his chosen “shot.” Social media buzzed with reactions, with some labeling the 23-year-old as a “strange one” and suggesting that a “grown man taking milk shots should be criminal.” Despite the quirky celebration, City’s win propelled them to second place in the Premier League table.
While Haaland’s absence continues, City called upon Kevin De Bruyne, making his return from a long-term injury. De Bruyne, coming off the bench when City trailed 2-1, made an immediate impact by scoring and providing the assist for Oscar Bobb’s late match-winning goal.
