Who was Erling Haaland goal celebration pitch invader? Man City striker joined on field by former world champion boxer Terry Flanagan

<p>The prolific Norwegian was on target once again at Bramall Lane, with last season’s Premier League Golden Boot winner <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/watch-erling-haaland-human-man-city-striker-hits-post-penalty-sheffield-united/blt795774e26f8dc29c" target="_blank">shrugging off a missed penalty</a> to make another important contribution for the reigning champions at Bramall Lane.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Haaland was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/manchester-city-player-ratings-sheffield-united-erling-haaland-rodri/blt09de34e8ac6aae6e" target="_blank">all smiles when hitting the net</a>, but appeared to be unaware of who was clinging to his back. The man in question was Terry Flanagan, a retired British fighter that held the WBO lightweight title between 2015 and 2017.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Flanagan never hid his love for City during a productive boxing career that saw him suffer just two defeats through 38 fights – with 14 knockouts recorded along the way. He leapt onto Haaland after seeing the 23-year-old find the target, while also planting a kiss on his neck.</p>

AND WHAT'S MORE

<p>Flanagan was escorted off the field by security staff, which may result in an attendance ban for him, while <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/pep-guardiola-premier-league-history-sickbed-man-city-record-milestone-boss/blta81d7388a04c6891" target="_blank">City went on to grind out a 2-1 win</a> over newly-promoted Sheffield United that has allowed them to preserve the Premier League’s only 100 per cent record in 2023-24.</p>
