Manchester City's Erling Haaland has been praised by Owen Hargreaves after the Norwegian scored two goals against Sevilla in the Blues' Champions League opening match.
‘Screaming’ - Man City striker Erling Haaland recalls ‘crazy’ reaction to Sergio Aguero's iconic goal vs QPR
20.08.2022 - 19:49 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Erling Haaland has recalled the time he and Dad Alfie “went crazy” when Sergio Aguero scored his unforgettable 2011/12 title-winning goal against QPR. It’s a moment that has frequently been named as the most memorable in Premier League history, and Haaland said his recollection of the day is still crystal clear a decade on.
“I remember it so well,” he told FourFourTwo. “Like it was yesterday. It was crazy. The day had been all about winning. This was our moment, this was the day the club became champions.”
Haaland - who already has two Manchester City goals of his own following his summer arrival - depicted how he shared the experience with father Alfie, who had left the Blues nine years earlier.

“I remember we settled down to watch, my dad was as excited as me, but things just went crazy. City are losing to 10-man QPR. We’re massive favourites, and we’re losing.
“Manchester United have won [their game against Sunderland]. It’s despair. The winning goal felt so strange. Balotelli lying on the ground but somehow getting the ball to Aguero.
“The striker shuts his eyes and he hits it, then it’s madness. Me, my dad, we’re up off our seats, we’re running around the living room screaming. The top comes off, and it’s spinning around the head. Special. What a moment.”
He added: "There are a lot of Man United fans in Norway - I always had to have a go at them."
