Erling Haaland had a difficult afternoon today against Wolves as Manchester City lost 2-1 at Molineux.

For the second time in the 2023–24 season, the Norway international was held scoreless in a Premier League match after also going scoreless in the 1-0 victory over Newcastle at the Etihad Stadium.

Craig Dawson, who performed an outstanding job going up against the productive frontman, was largely to blame for the Leeds-born striker’s displeasure.

One journalist observed what the Wolves No. 15 was doing to Erling Haaland to confuse him during the 2-1 loss for Manchester City at Molineux.

What’s the premise?

During today’s match at Molineux, Dawson was observed pushing Manchester City’s No. 9 and yanking the 23-year-old’s arm in an effort to keep him quiet.

The £3.3 million Wolves defender was seen by BBC Sport’s Simon Stone using some black magic to neutralize Haaland.The esteemed journalist stated: “Craig Dawson and Erling Haaland are actually fighting physically. The seasoned Wolves defender is reacting by grabbing the striker’s arm and pushing him away as Haaland pushes him back. Right now, neither man is conceding an inch.

There aren’t many things that can stop the Norwegian from scoring, but for the majority of today’s match at Molineux, the 33-year-old had Manchester City’s talisman just where he wanted him.

Erling Haaland found it difficult to contribute for Manchester City.
Simply put, Haaland’s day in the Midlands was not to be.

The 2022/23 Premier League Golden Boot winner only got 15 touches of the ball while playing the full 90 minutes, according to WhoScored.

Any player that played the full 90 minutes at Molineux had the fewest touches.

Haaland only managed one shot throughout the entire game, which was extremely odd given his propensity to place himself in advantageous situations and challenge the goalkeeper.

Unfortunately, the renowned Norwegian player did not offer much on defense either.

Against Wolves, Haaland was without a single tackle, interception, clearance, or block.

The Manchester City No. 9 will hopefully be inspired by his lackluster performance tonight to improve against Arsenal next Sunday.
