Erling Haaland Scores Stunning Acrobatic Goal As Manchester City Thrash Sparta Prague 5-0 in the Champions League

Erling Haaland scored an incredible acrobatic goal during Manchester City’s 5-0 victory over Sparta Prague in the Champions League.

Pep Guardiola’s side led 1-0 at the break through an early Phil Foden goal and immediately threatened to extend their lead after the restart, when Nathan Ake had a goal ruled out by VAR for handball.

The second goal eventually came through a spectacular acrobatic finish from Haaland, before John Stones headed in a third just four minutes later.
