Haaland caused excitement when clashing with Newcastle defender
In the 73rd minute, Grealish went to the ball in the home field and then lay in pain when he was fouled by Burn from behind. Newcastle's left-back had bad words when he thought that Grealish was cheating, causing players from both teams to argue with each other.
From near the opponent's 16m50 area, Haaland ran nearly 40m to the home field to provoke Burn. Teammates were forced to intervene to separate these two players. Referee Simon Hooper, then, called Haaland and Burn to a corner and gave both players a yellow card.
According to British newspaper Sunsport, fans feel excited when they see the two tallest players of the two teams arguing. Haaland is 1m94 tall and weighs 88 kg, while Burn is 1m98 tall and weighs 1kg less than Haaland.
"Haaland vs Burn. It's a battle I'm willing to pay to see," one fan wrote on Twitter, with a flame icon. "I want to see Haaland and Burn fight," wrote another. "Haaland and Burn will be a crazy fight," this person said.
Yesterday, Haaland played the full 90 minutes, touched the ball 29 times, passed with 84% accuracy with a decisive line, missed the target twice and lost the ball nine times. He contributed an assist when he passed one touch to Bernardo Silva's shot outside the corner to make it 2-0.
This is Man City's 1,000th goal at home in the Premier League era in the 26th season. Man City's best achievement is scoring 63 goals in 19 home matches in the 2013-2014 season. Following are 61 goals in the 2017-2018 season, the first season Pep Guardiola won the English Premier League. In total, 356 of 1,000 goals were scored during the Spain coach's reign at the Etihad Stadium.
With 106 goals, Sergio Aguero is the player with the most goals at home for Man City in the tournament. Man City scored 160 goals at Maine Road - their home ground in the first six Premier League seasons. The remaining 840 goals have been scored at Etihad since the first game in 2003.
However, Man City could not shorten the gap from the top of the table on the day that set a milestone when Arsenal defeated Bournemouth 3-2 in the late match. Guardiola's teachers and students currently have 58 points, five points behind "Gunners".
On March 11, Man City was a guest of Crystal Palace in the 27th round of the English Premier League and then received RB Leipzig in the second leg of the 1/8 Champions League round on March 14. The first leg at Red Bull Arena ended with a score of 1-1.
