Erling Haaland withdrawn at half-time as Pep Guardiola left stunned by Riyad Mahrez's penalty miss in frustrating draw MCFC
BT SportHaaland made way for Bernardo Silva at half-time, and jokes were made about him going 92 minutes without a goal.He managed no shots on target, completed just 13 touches and produced just seven passes before being hooked off at the break.
But manager Pep Guardiola suggested it was more a precaution as he had a slight fever before the game. Haaland netted two goals in the 3-1 win over Brighton at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday in the Premier LeagueMahrez, though, had the chance to be the hero and put his side 1-0 ahead, only to see his penalty saved by goalkeeper Gregor Kobel.The Algeria international fired a shot to the keepers’ right only for 24-year-old shot-stopper to produce a great save to keep it out.
