Erling Haaland displayed insane acrobatic skills with his goal against Sparta Prague in the UEFA Champions League. His first of two goals in Manchester City’s 5-0 thrashing was one to remember.
Haaland realized that a cross was slightly behind him. He somehow managed to reposition himself quickly to score a unique scorpion kick with the side of his left-foot.
The goal was so insane that it even broke the xG (expected goals) statisticians. The xG metric can’t decipher what xG probability this goal deserves considering how unique it is.
Popular X account The xG Philosophy simply couldn’t comprehend how Haaland managed to score the goal.
That is one way for Haaland to shut up those who criticize his xG in games he’s blanked in this season!
