Fans say the same thing about Erling Haaland as they spot what he did before and after Man City penalty
Ryan Smart
2 – 3 minutes
Fans are all saying the same thing after seeing Erling Haaland turn down the chance to take a penalty in the FA Cup final against Crystal Palace – as well as what he did afterwards.
City won a penalty shortly before half-time after Tyrick Mitchell was adjudged to have fouled Bernardo Silva.
Pep Guardiola’s side were 1-0 down at the time after Eberechi Eze opened the scoring for Palace.
Haaland would have been expected to take the spot kick as City’s main penalty taker.
But the Norwegian surprisingly decided to give the ball to Omar Marmoush instead.
Marmoush would then see his penalty saved by Dean Henderson, who dived low to his right to pull off the stop.
Haaland was presented with a goalscoring opportunity from the rebound, but looked for the pass instead and eventually miscued the ball into the arms of Henderson, capping off a nightmare few minutes.

Even if his pass had connected with Marmoush, the Egyptian would have been flagged offside as he was ahead of both Haaland and the ball.
In reaction, one fan on Twitter wrote: “Reckon Haaland would have laughed in your face a couple of years ago if you suggested he should let someone else take a penalty in a final. Definitely lost a lot of confidence.”
Another said: “Why is Haaland not taking a crucial penalty in a cup final?”
A third added: “Why did Haaland not smash that instead of passing it from the rebound?”
Speaking on BBC Sport, Wayne Rooney suggested that the decision to not have Haaland take the penalty would have been pre-determined by Guardiola and his coaching staff before the game.
Regardless, the incident will likely do little to help the forward’s confidence as he prepares for the second half, where he will hope to have more fortune in front of goal at Wembley.
Crystal Palace star cruelly forced to miss FA Cup celebrations and trophy lift following win over Man City
One Crystal Palace player was forced to miss his side’s trophy celebrations after they beat Manchester City 1-0 in the FA Cup final.
Palace lifted their first-ever major trophy at Wembley through Eberechi Eze’s first-half goal.
City’s Omar Marmoush, meanwhile, saw his penalty saved by Dean Henderson shortly before the interval, with the Palace goalkeeper making a number of other important stops.
But as Palace celebrated their Wembley success, one of their key players was in a different part of the stadium.
Midfielder Adam Wharton was substituted in the second half, shortly after being hit on the back of the head by a fierce shot from Kevin De Bruyne.

He was not taken off immediately, instead only being removing from action shortly after being on the end of a hard tackle from Claudio Echeverri.
Although there appeared to be little concern about his wellbeing at the time, Fabrizio Romano has reported that he was undergoing concussion tests while his Palace team-mates were lifting the FA Cup trophy on the Wembley pitch, and did not receive his medal either.
Before his substitution, Wharton was one of Palace’s star performers – after doubts prior to the match that he may not even be fit to take part.

The England midfielder missed the 2-0 win over Tottenham last weekend through an ankle injury, but returned in time to play a key role in helping his side to win their first major trophy.
It is also the first major trophy in the career of 21-year-old Wharton, who came through the academy at hometown club Blackburn Rovers before moving to Palace in January 2024.
The midfielder, a keen cricketer in the Lancashire leagues before deciding to commit to professional football, was called up to Gareth Southgate’s England squad for Euro 2024 and, with current boss Thomas Tuchel present at Wembley, will hope to have earned his way back into the Three Lions setup.
