Erling Haaland reveals his favourite goal from record-breaking season at Manchester City

  • Revealed strike against Southampton was his best of the year
  • Has bagged 52 goals in all competitions this year
  • Named FWA Footballer of the Year on Thursday night

WHAT HAPPENED? Haaland has 36 goals — and counting — to pick from. But he admitted that his personal favourite came in the 68th minute of Man City's clash with Southampton. The striker ghosted into the box and met a Jack Grealish cross with an athletic bicycle kick to hand the Cityzens a 3-0 lead.

WHAT THEY SAID: Speaking at the Football Writers' Association awards, Haaland opened up on his favourite goal: "The bicycle kick against Southampton was something special, right? To hang this big body in the air like that!"
