Haaland scores just 11 minutes into City debut in win over Bayern


Erling Haaland made a bang during his debut for Manchester City against Bayern Munich, scoring the game's only goal after just 11 minutes on the pitch.

He was helped with a cross from man-of-the-match Jack Grealish, which Haaland was able to convert from short range.

The Norway international left Borussia Dortmund for City - the club his father Alf Inge previously played for - in a deal worth £51m in June.

The match, held at Wisconsin's Lambeau Field, was delayed for 15 minutes by a thunderstorm, and play was suspended until further notice shortly after Haaland's goal.

Fans were urged to take shelter on the concourse as lightning descended on the area and players left the field.

Officials then announced a reduced game, with 27 minutes left in the first half and a 40-minute second half.

The interruptions appeared to impact both sides' momentum, with neither managing to clinch another goal over the total of 80 minutes play.
