Manchester City star Erling Haaland produced an uncharacteristic performance on Saturday, as the striker missed a plethora of chances in his team’s 1-1 draw against Chelsea. Soccer fans have become accustomed to Haaland, arguably the best goal-scorer in the world, converting almost all of his chances in recent seasons, but the 23-year-old seemed to struggle in his latest English Premier League performance. In total, Haaland took nine shots during the game against Chelsea – the highest number of attempts without scoring that the striker has taken since joining Manchester City in 2022. His chances included three golden opportunities to score, including a glaring header from close range in the second-half which the forward blazed over the bar. City teammate Rodri was able to somewhat spare Haaland’s blushes by rescuing a point for the league champion, his late effort canceling out Raheem Sterling’s opener for Chelsea. Haaland, though, had enough chances to win the match and was visibly angry with himself at full-time, pulling his shirt over his head and pushing a camera out of his face as he made his way off the pitch.
