FANS were left open-mouthed after Erling Haaland’s stunning bicycle kick against Southampton.
The striker had already broken the deadlock earlier in the game but left his best moment until the second half.
Jack Grealish sent in a cross that was just behind the big Norwegian.
Bu that was no matter to him as he launched himself into the air to try and rescue the chance.
Haaland then pulled off a filthy bicycle kick to send the ball past Gavin Bazunu.
It turned out to be his last touch of the match as he was quickly subbed off but fans were still left reeling from his goal long after he departed.
One delighted City supporter said: “Haaland is such a cheat code. Grealish assist too we are eating good.”
Another said: “This haaland guy is a robot.”
While another fan noted: “Erling Haaland has scored more league goals this season than 8 Premier League teams.”
And one admirer of the goal-scorer added: “Haaland will score 40 PL goals by the end of the season. That guy is not normal.”

It was the 22-year-old’s 30th strike of a goal-laden Premier League season, with his 29th coming at the end of scrappy first-half as the relegation-battling Saints frustrated Pep Guardiola’s side.
But Kevin De Bruyne found space near the touchline and sent in a cross for Haaland to head home just before half-time.
Grealish also scored in between Haaland’s brace as the midfielder continues his strong run of form.
But ultimately it was Haaland making the headlines again as he continues his astonishing debut season at the Etihad.
He now has 42 goals in all competitions, with last month seeing him hit five against RB Leipzig in Europe before netting a hat-trick in the FA Cup a few days later
