After the final whistle, the camera panned to Haaland, as he walked over to shake hands with each player and the referee.
Haaland celebrates the winning goal in Man City’s 2-0 victory over West Ham, in London, England on August 7.
Haaland was the difference in the match when he earned a penalty, scored the opening goal and sealed the 2-0 victory.
Man City kept the ball 79% of the first half, took twice as many shots and passed four times as many times as their opponents.
In the 35th minute, Gundogan received the ball in front of the penalty area, with enough space to turn around.
The situation where Haaland was tripped led to a penalty for Man City, at West Ham Stadium on August 7.
Haaland himself took the penalty kick, to the bottom left corner, in the opposite direction of Areola’s fall.
Haaland is good, but it cannot be denied that Man City is on a different level than West Ham, making the host not dare to push the team high to find an equalizer.
The combination of De Bruyne and Haaland will likely continue to lead to many more goals for Man City this season.
Haaland will look for opportunities to score more goals when Man City returns to Etihad to host Bournemouth in round two on August 13.
