Haaland’s Poznan Delight: A Memorable Celebration Seals Derby Triumph, Winning Hearts of Ecstatic Man City Fans

Erling Haaland recreated the celebration on the field as he joined Manchester City fans in celebrating their derby victory over bitter rivals Manchester United in the closing minutes.

The City striker capitalized on a mistake made by United to score his team’s third goal in stoppage time, securing three vital points in the Premier League title contest.

Haaland finished City’s comeback with a strike that he rolled past Andre Onana into the bottom corner, and he enjoyed the wild celebrations taking on inside the Etihad.

Haaland temporarily imitated the iconic Poznan dance performed by City fans, which involves bouncing up and down while keeping their backs to the pitch.

Walking back towards the midway line, the 23-year-old was thrilled to see City fans provoke United supporters in the away section by doing the Poznan.

Along with the joyful spectators who were jumping about in the stands, Haaland raised both arms in the air and briefly sprang off the ground.

Andre Onana, the goalkeeper for Man United, is seen hobbling back towards his net as the opposition gave up the game’s fourth goal and gave up.

Marcus Rashford stunned City in the first ten minutes of the game with a spectacular long-range rocket, giving Erik ten Hag’s squad an early lead.

For the whole of the first half, United held their lead until Phil Foden scored in the 56th minute with an incredible finish into the top corner.

The England and City player put the home team ahead with another deft finish in the eighty-first minute, and Haaland added another goal during stoppage time.

Haaland maintained his composure when Rodri dispossessed Sofyan Amrabat before to playing in the Norwegian, having blown a clear opportunity earlier in the game.

Throughout the game, Haaland had been denied by Onana, but he maintained his composure to bend his shot around him.

After the game, Haaland merely said, “Manchester is blue,” in a post on his X account that included a photo of himself performing the Poznan.
