Manchester City forward Erling Haaland missed a penalty during Sunday's Premier League clash against Sheffield United - but he's already shown he won't dwell on the miss
Peter Shilton famously said the biggest thing you need with penalties is 'luck', and against Sheffield United on Sunday, Erling Haaland's luck was out. City were gifted a chance to take a first-half lead at Bramall Lane when Julian Alvarez’s cross bounced up and struck defender John Egan on the arm as the Blades skipper slid in to block - and referee Jarred Gillett pointed straight to the spot.
"What it does show is that, and not just because he scored, because he came close on a couple of other occasions as well, came really close with header, that it really shows his mental fortitude to keep going and keep going. That’s something that’s really difficult to find and he showed it throughout.
It is telling, then, that Haaland has already shown his elite-level mindset when stepping up to the penalty spot. His manager Guardiola, absent from the game against Sheffield United while he is recovering from back surgery, spoke with Haaland after he blazed a first-half penalty over the crossbar against Bayern Munich in April.
