FANS have been left flabbergasted at “madman” Erling Haaland after footage appeared to show the star issuing a very brave challenge while standing in a defensive wall.
The Manchester City striker, 22, scored his 35th Premier League goal of the season in a 3-0 win over West Ham on Wednesday evening.
In doing so, he surpassed Alan Shearer and Andy Cole’s record of 34 for most goals in a single Premier League campaign.
It also took his tally to an astonishing 51 for the campaign.
And he still has at least eight more matches left to add to that astonishing figure this campaign.
However, it is not just his scoring exploits that have made him so likeable as they have also fallen in love with the Norwegian’s personality.

And now some City supporters have fallen even more for him after a new clip went viral.
In it, Haaland can be seen standing alongside Manuel Akanji, Jack Grealish and Kevin De Bruyne in a wall defending a free-kick.
According to some lip-reading fans the ex-Dortmund ace then starts screaming to the taker: “Hit me in my balls.”
As the video began circulating online, one supporter affectionately called him a “madman” – but it seems that his fan club has also grown bigger.
