Former world champion boxer jumps on Erling Haaland's back and KISSES his cheek, after invading the pitch to celebrate with the Man City striker following his goal at Sheffield United

Erling Haaland was joined on the pitch by a former world champion boxer after putting Manchester City in front against Sheffield United on Sunday.

Haaland had endured a frustrating first half at Bramall Lane after he missed a penalty for the first time since joining City, but he made no mistake when he got another chance after the break, heading home Jack Grealish's cross from close range.

He did not appear to be in the mood to celebrate his goal initially, clearly still annoyed at his earlier penalty miss, but was then joined on the pitch by an over-eager fan.
