Manchester City star Erling Haaland missed a penalty for Norway against Israel
Haaland got a retake but also missed that one
The star striker counts a staggering total of 136 goals in 155 appearances with .
But even he proved he is only human during Norway’s qualifier against Israel at the Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo.
The hosts earned a penalty after just five minutes into the match and the Norwegian goal machine squared up against Israel goalkeeper Daniel Peretz.
Haaland fired a shot down Peretz’s bottom right corner but the Hamburg keeper chose wisely and saved the shot.
Just as started to celebrate, the referee ordered a retake for Norway due to encroachment.
Haaland got ready to make up for his earlier miss and opted for the other side but Peretz again had his number and palmed the ball away.
Fans were left absolutely stunned as they stormed social media after witnessing such an unusual site.
One fan tweeted: “Maybe he is human after all…”
Another commented: “Keeper living rent-free in Haaland’s head after that one.”
A third wrote: “Just giving the opponent a chance.”
This fan said: “Terrible penalty hehe.”
And that one gasped: “Wow!”
Haaland’s miss didn’t harm as they went on to score five times.
And the centre-forward scored three of those goals in a stunning performance that saw him expertly shaking his earlier mistake off to return to his robotic goal-machine ways pretty quickly.
Haaland made up for those misses with a hat-trick later on
