Erling Haaland's inspiration behind goal celebration in Man City's win against Ipswich revealed

There is an amusing - or potentially irritating - reason behind one of Erling Haaland's celebrations against Ipswich.

Haaland scored a hat-trick as Manchester City came from behind to trounce Premier League freshmen Ipswich Town 4-1.

The second of those came after just 16 minutes as he overturned Ipswich's Sammie Szmodics-inspired lead, the former Blackburn star nabbing his first goal for the club.

And for his celebration, fans were treated to Haaland bouncing around with his arms held wide before he punched the corner flag.

Perhaps the most ecstatic person to see that will have been YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI, who had urged Haaland to do the celebration in one of his videos.
