Why Erling Haaland interaction saw Crystal Palace defender Daniel Munoz feel the wrath of his own fans against Man City - explained

As both teams headed to the changing rooms at half-time, following goals from Jean-Philippe Mateta and Kevin De Bruyne, Eagles star Munoz headed over to Haaland to ask for a favour - one that did not go down well with the home faithful at Selhurst Park.

Video footage shows Munoz asked Haaland for his shirt in front of the Palace fans on Saturday afternoon. After the striker obliged, the home supporters voiced their displeasure, especially as he was playing against the former Borussia Dortmund in this match. City went onto win the match 4-2 to go joint top of the Premier League, with Haaland bagging a goal.

Right wing-back Munoz, 27, joined Crystal Palace from Genk in January for a fee in the region of €8 million (£6.8m). The Colombia international has played nine times for the south London outfit this season.

The fixtures do not get much easier for Munoz's Palace side as they travel to top-of-the-table Liverpool next Sunday, whereas title hopefuls City take on Real Madrid in the first leg of their quarter-final Champions League tie on Tuesday night.
