MANCHESTER CITY sensation Erling Haaland unveiled a new – and somewhat familiar – goal celebration against Bournemouth.
Haaland scored his 25th goal of the season early in the big home win – and showcased a new celebration that sent fans wild.
Haaland, 25, ran from his OWN half to give Manchester City the lead against Bournemouth with a coolly-taken finish, beating Djordje Petrovic.
The Norwegian may have taken inspiration from Peter Crouch by sharing his attempt at “the robot”.
Football fans were left in stitches by the striker’s celebration.
One person commented: “We had our doubts about Erling Haaland being human… this didn’t help.”

Another wrote: “Erling Haaland is the reason Ronaldo hasn’t retired yet.”
A third added: “He celebrates like he just installed the update mid game.”
Haaland has been known in the past to alternate his celebrations, from cupping a finger to his ear to his mid-air leap, but this afternoon he decided to pull out a Premier League classic.
City’s goalscoring machine gave his meditative celebration a break against Bournemouth.
