In the Carabao Cup quarter-final, Manchester City hosted Brentford. And even though the Norwegian star was missing from the starting lineup, his presence was certainly felt among his teammates.
Details: In the 32nd minute, young French winger Rayan Cherki received the ball outside the penalty area and unleashed a stunningly precise strike, opening the scoring for his side.
What caught everyone's eye was the celebration – Cherki mimicked Erling Haaland's trademark gesture, with the Norwegian striker watching from the bench.
No more goals were scored in the first half. As it stands, Manchester City holds a narrow lead.
Reminder: Girona may soon sign Manchester City midfielder Claudio Echeverri.
