Gary Neville was left absolutely awestruck by something Erling Haaland did in the first half against Manchester United.
Manchester City take on their neighbours Manchester United on Sunday in a crucial Manchester derby.
Pep Guardiola’s side need to pick up a vital three points in order to stay within touching distance of Premier League leaders Liverpool.
However, things are not going to plan against a United side that has had a difficult week.
Many thought City would win comfortably but they find themselves behind at the break thanks to Marcus Rashford’s fantastic strike.
City have dominated possession though and should be level at the very least.
Towards the end of the first half, Erling Haaland was gifted a tap in just a couple of yards from goal but he somehow managed to put the ball over.
Gary Neville was left amazed by what he witnessed.
Gary Neville stunned by Erling Haaland
Speaking on commentary for Sky Sports, Neville said: “Oh my gosh, what has he just done? What’s he not done?
“They’ve been working it and working it, and finally they get perfection apart from that, you can not believe that Erling Haaland has put that over the bar.
“He missed some chances against Chelsea a couple of weeks ago, he can’t believe it, Pep Guardiola.
“A startling thing we’ve just seen. Is he trying to put it into the top of the net? Is he trying to be clever?”
A horrible miss
Haaland is usually so reliable yet he somehow managed to miss a chance that had a higher xG than a penalty.
Rodri was left absolutely furious when he witnessed the blunder and Guardiola was stunned while Haaland was in pure disbelief.
Games can turn on that sort of moment and City must keep their heads in the face of a tough match.
United have been dangerous on the counter but City have largely dominated and created plenty of chances.
If they carry on the same way, the goal will come but they must be careful not to get caught out again.
