The Norwegian striker could not keep his composure when he saw teammate Jack Grealish being violently fouled by the opponent in Man City’s 2-0 win over Newcastle on the night of March 4.
In the 73rd minute, Jack Grealish was pulled down by Dann Burn in a dispute. Grealish was also stepped on by an opponent while lying on the field.
Burn made a mistake but still showed a harsh attitude. Man City players quickly ran to protect teammates.

Not long after, Erling Haaland also showed up. The striker born in 2000 got angry, grabbed his shirt and repeatedly provoked Newcastle’s number 33.
Dan Burn is one of the tallest defenders in the English Premier League (6.56 feet). However, Haaland did not mind this much. If there is no teammate to intervene, the 6.4 feet tall striker is ready to eat and lose enough with the opponent.
After a moment of loss of composure, referee Simon Hooper showed both Haaland and Burn a yellow card.
Haaland did not score but still made an important contribution to Man City’s victory over nasty opponents Newcastle. The 23-year-old striker was the owner of the assist to help Bernardo Silva set the score 2-0. Haaland has contributed to 38 goals for “Cityzens” since the beginning of the season (5 assists, 33 goals).
