‘Maybe he is human after all’ say fans as goal-machine Erling Haaland misses TWO penalties in a row on Norway duty


MANCHESTER CITY superstar Erling Haaland missed two penalties in a row in just five minutes while on international duty.

Haaland, 25, has finished as the Premier League’s top scorer twice during his three-year stint at City and currently leads the way this season with nine goals in seven matches.

The star striker counts a staggering total of 136 goals in 155 appearances with Man City.

But even he proved he is only human during Norway’s 2026 World Cup qualifier against Israel at the Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo.

The hosts earned a penalty after just five minutes into the match and the Norwegian goal machine squared up against Israel goalkeeper Daniel Peretz.

Haaland fired a shot down Peretz’s bottom right corner but the Hamburg keeper chose wisely and saved the shot.

Just as Israel started to celebrate, the referee ordered a retake for Norway due to encroachment.

Haaland got ready to make up for his earlier miss and opted for the other side but Peretz again had his number and palmed the ball away.

Fans were left absolutely stunned as they stormed social media after witnessing such an unusual site.

One fan tweeted: “Maybe he is human after all…”

Another commented: “Keeper living rent-free in Haaland’s head after that one.”

A third wrote: “Just giving the opponent a chance.”


This fan said: “Terrible penalty hehe.”

And that one gasped: “Wow!”

Haaland’s miss didn’t harm Norway as they went on to score five times.

And the centre-forward scored three of those goals in a stunning performance that saw him expertly shaking his earlier mistake off to return to his robotic goal-machine ways pretty quickly.
