TV PRESENTER Jeremy Clarkson was quick to comment on a bizarre goal scored by Erling Haaland against Chelsea.
Haaland popped up with two goals as Manchester City were held to a 4-4 draw at Stamford Bridge.
However, his second got fans talking for an unusual reason.

But instead of scoring with his foot, the striker did so with his backside.
And after a brief VAR check for a potential handball, the goal was given.
