It’s hard to believe that Erling Haaland could not score despite facing two extremely delicious close-in opportunities in the match against Nottingham Forest in the 24th round of the Premier League.
Man City have lost the top of the table after letting Nottingham Forest hold with a score of 1-1 in the 24th round of the Premier League. Although they took the lead in the 41st minute after Bernardo Silva’s goal, they were then equalized in the 84th minute after a goal by Chris Wood. Currently, the “green” Man is ranked second in the rankings with 52 points, two points behind the top team Arsenal and played more than one match.
The fate of Man City would have been different if they had made better use of the opportunities. Typically, two consecutive miss cases of Erling Haaland. In the 67th minute, goalkeeper Keylor Navas pushed the ball out after Phil Foden’s finish. Haaland dashed into the mud, but the ball hit the crossbar. After that, the striker rushed to finish but went to the sky from a distance of about … 6 meters.

Before this situation, Phil Foden also missed the opportunity to face the unfortunate goalkeeper. Although the angle of the shot is very wide, this player chose to pass the ball to Haaland. Finally, the Nottingham Forest defender rushed to save.
Talking about Haaland’s missed situation, coach Pep Guardiola said: “Haaland needs to keep a positive attitude and continue to aim for goals in the next matches. We had great chances but couldn’t. It’s football.
We need to score. The whole team did everything. The truth is that Man City has too many scoring opportunities. It was one of City’s best games but we dropped two points. Anyway, the whole team should have a more positive view. There are still many matches, we know that.”
In the middle of next week, Man City will have a trip to Leipzig in the round of 1/8 Champions League. They need to improve their finishing ability if they don’t want to hold a grudge.
