After one of his WORST EVER games wearing a Manchester City shirt, ERLING HAALAND launched a tantrum, pushing one of the matchday cameras.
City lost to Chelsea on Saturday night at the Etihad in their attempt to win the Premier League title again.
An equalizer from Rodri in the second half kept Pep Guardiola’s team in the game at one.
Erling Haaland had a shocker against Chelsea on Saturday

Haaland wasted a lot of opportunities during the game, including a header in the second half that would have been a cinch.
And it appears that the Norwegian vented his resentment at a Sky Sports cameraman.
Walking off the field, the 23-year-old SHOVE one of Sky’s very costly cameras.
One football fan expressed disapproval of his behavior by writing, “Haaland pushing the camera away oh grow up.”
“Haaland is fuming,” said another. The camera was shoved out of his face by him.
Another participant stated: “Erling Haaland is not here for a camera being in his face when he doesn’t have a good game.”
Someone said, “Haaland pushing the camera of the cameraman disgraceful.”
And yet another commented: “Haaland pushing the camera away – you’ve drawn a league game in February man, get a grip!”
Haaland, a former striker for Borussia Dortmund, took nine shots overall in the disappointing stalemate.
Of those three shots at goal, three were considered “big chances”.
The star player for City had an anticipated goals rating of 1.71 going into the game.
Nine shots without a goal in a single game is the highest number the Premier League’s leading scorer has ever had in any of his 79 Manchester City outings.
With such a high XG rating, his drawing of a blank also made him the first player in the Premier League this season to fail to find the back of the net.
Disappointed, Guardiola declined to hold Haaland accountable for City’s point deficit.
“I played for 11 years and scored 11 goals,” declared the Spaniard.
“A single objective per season. I’m not the right man to counsel strikers.
“We create the opportunities, and he will score the next time. I hold him not responsible.
“As a team and a group, the first half was not like we are.”
Raheem Sterling, a former player, scored in the 42nd minute, putting City on track to lose all three points.
They were saved a point in the 83rd minute by a deflected effort by Rodri.
At the moment, City is two points behind Arsenal in second place and four points behind leaders Liverpool in the table.
Despite this, they already have a game against their championship rivals.
Tuesday night, City returns to play when they host Brentford at the Etihad.
