Haaland cut a frustrated figure both during and after the match
City have dropped ground on Arsenal and Liverpool in the title race as a result of their stalemate with Chelsea as both of their rivals won earlier in the day.
Haaland endured an afternoon to forget on a personal level after spurning a number of golden opportunities. The Norwegian striker, who plundered 52 goals in 53 matches last season, missed the target completely on a number of occasions when he should have tested Djorde Petrovic in the visiting goal.
And the Norwegian seemingly took out his frustrations on a Sky Sports cameraman.
The 23-year-old SHOVED one of Sky’s super-expensive cameras as he trudged off the pitch.
His actions didn’t go unnoticed, with one footie fan saying: “Haaland pushing the camera away oh grow up.”
Another said: “Haaland is fuming. He pushed the camera out of his face.”
And another said: “Erling Haaland is not here for a camera being in his face when he doesn’t have a good game.”
One remarked: “Haaland pushing the camera of the cameraman disgraceful.”
And another chimed in: “Haaland pushing the camera away – you’ve drawn a league game in February man, get a grip!”
Former Borussia Dortmund hitman Haaland had a total of NINE shots in the disappointing draw.
Three of those attempts at goal were deemed to be “big chances”.
City’s star man went into the match with an expected goals rating of 1.71.
After a 5-0 thumping of Burnley, Manchester City will finish the weekend in third place, two points behind Arsenal and four behind Liverpool, who destroyed Brentford in the early afternoon kickoff.
Although Guardiola’s team still has a game against both teams, even a victory would leave them one point behind the Reds, who are currently leading the title chase.
