It’s not easy being Erling Haaland. Fans expect him to deliver every time he steps onto the field. The Manchester City striker just had an off day in his latest outing against Chelsea, failing to score a single goal despite multiple attempts. It seems like his frustrations eventually got to him. After the game, the Norwegian pushed off the cameraman, who was trying to record him as he walked into the dugout. Well, this did not sit well with the fans, who did not shy away from presenting their opinions on social media.

Erling Haaland found himself in the thick of things against Chelsea, with the player having two big opportunities to find the back of the net. However, he skied both his attempts, failing to keep his header on target. The lethal striker has struggled to find goals as of late, with him scoring just twice in his last 7 outings.

Haaland lost his calm following the game, shoving aside the camera crew while walking back to the stands. He seemed in no mood for a chat as he huffed back following a disastrous outing. However, it seems like fans weren’t impressed with his actions, with many calling out the player on social media.
