Haaland’s miss reignited comparisons between himself and Darwin Nunez from fans

The forward dragged his shot wide with the goal gaping

With the scores level at 1-1, Bernardo Silva teed up Haaland after City had won the ball inside the Spurs penalty area.

As Guglielmo Vicario scrambled back across his goal, the forward was left with the goal gaping and only Ben Davies to beat.

However, he dragged his tame shot narrowly wide of the far post to the dismay of the City supporters.

Haaland himself could not believe it either as he put his hand over his mouth in unbelievable

.

Also in the first half, Haaland continued to miss another opportunity when Julian Alvarez drew people in and opened up space for him to finish.

But last season’s EPL top scorer still showed another bad finish with a shot that sent the ball into the air.

If Haaland had been more careful, Man City could have decided the match in the first 45 minutes.

Meanwhile, rival supporters were quick to compare him to Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez on social media.

One fan joked on X, formerly Twitter: “Nunez must be smiling.”

Another added: “He was definitely watching that Nunez clip.”

A third fan also asked: “Better than Nunez?”

“Fraud watch,” commented another supporter.

Haaland had been involved in City’s equaliser earlier in the first half.

Statistics show that Haaland took 4 shots during his time on the field but all 4 failed to hit the target.

Instead of making his mark with goals, the former Dortmund player attracted fans’ attention by shouting directly at the referee when he did not allow Man City to enjoy an advantage at the end of the match.

While Jude Bellingham continues to shine at Real Madrid, Haaland will need to take more chances if he doesn’t want the Golden Ball title to slip out of his hands again.
