Erling Haaland says penalty against Fulham ‘one of the most nervous moments' of his life

Erling Haaland's amazing goalscoring feats this season have led some to believe he is not actually human but even he felt the pressure of having to convert an injury-time penalty to give Manchester City victory over Fulham.

The 22-year-old Norwegian, who just about beat Bernd Leno with his 95th-minute spot-kick to send his side top of the Premier League and spark wild celebrations at Etihad Stadium, admitted to Sky Sports afterwards: "I was nervous - it was one of the most nervous moments of my life.

"A penalty in the last minute? Of course I would be nervous," he added to BBC Sport.
