Haaland Star-struck?

Norwegian sensation Erling Braut Haaland knew exactly whose shirt he wanted at the end of his country’s 5-1 demolition of Northern Ireland in Belfast.

Born in Leeds while his father was a player at the Elland Road club, he’s always followed the fortunes of the newly-promoted Yorkshire side. And it was straight to Irish right-sided midfielder Stuart Dallas he went, right on the final whistle.

Dallas who was named Leeds Players’ Player of the Year in 2019/20, said, “It was a nice touch. Obviously there’s a Leeds connection there. But I didn’t think he’d want to swap shirts with me.
