Manchester City striker Erling Haaland was engaged in a funny moment with teammate Marc Guehi following City clinched a 2-1 win against Liverpool on Monday, February 8.
Marc Guehi's harsh reception
Guehi was subjected to jeers throughout the game, with the defender's every touch constantly booed by the home crowd at Anfield. The harsh reception came as no shocker as Guehi was previously on the verge of a transfer to Liverpool last season, only for his former club, Crystal Palace to halt the deal late in the window.
Fast forward to the January transfer window, Manchester secured the services of the England international for an initial £20 million, with the player signing a deal with the club until 2031.
Following Dominik Szoboszlai had given Liverpool the lead midway through the second half, it was Guehi who had the last laugh as Haaland completed a comeback, scoring from the penalty spot to keep City's title hopes alive.
Although, the drama unfolded late on as City had a third goal disallowed. In an attempt to score an equaliser, the hosts committed bodies forward, including goalkeeper Alisson Becker, but were caught on the counter.
Rayan Cherki got the ball from Bernardo Silva clear-out, with Haaland also through on goal. But the midfielder opted to score from a distance. The goal was, however, ruled out for double fouls in the buildup, with Szoboszlai getting a fed card.
“Why did Cherki not pass to me?” Haland hilariously asked Guehi at full-time.”
They both embraced each other, and Haaland said to the camera:
“Film this geezer! Run after him, go on, go film him! He got booed all the time. Go on, film him. Go film him! Go on, he’s there!”
Timed at 92:42. Erling Haaland's penalty for Manchester City was the latest winning goal on record by a visiting team at Anfield in the Premier League (since 2006-07).
Marc Guehi reacts to being booed by Liverpool supporters
Guehi admitted being confused after receiving booes from the Anfield crowd and thanked City fans for supporting him throughout the match.
He said post-match:
“Yeah... I'm not sure why, to be honest! But I can't control what their fans think of me. I'm just grateful for OUR fans for sticking by me and supporting me the whole game!”
So far, Guehi has played three matches for City, starting every single game since he joined the side.
