Erling Haaland’s unpleasant incident with a staff member occurred after he had scored a hat-trick for Man City.

The striker reportedly did this while attempting to “avoid giving an interview.”

On Saturday, Haaland, 23, was the talk of the Etihad once more after scoring three goals to defeat Fulham 5-1.

The Norwegian striker is currently on pace to at least surpass last season’s record-breaking haul of 36 strikes with six goals in four league games.

When the game was over, Haaland exited the field, but all of his attention was focused on the Man City locker room.

On camera, the striker could be seen moving quickly down the tunnel.

An employee approached him and pointed in a different direction as he carried the match ball under one arm.

The man was then rammed by Haaland, who in return was grabbed by the waist.

He then swung Haaland around to face the direction he had been pointing.

Ruben Dias gave Haaland a warm pat on the back as he passed, and the trio limped out of the changing room with a third staff member.

Following the game, fans posted hilarious comments on social media, with many assuming that Haaland was being taken away for a post-game TV interview.

In fact, Haaland’s immediate response seemed to tickle the man he barged into.

One supporter added: “Haaland did not want to do an interview after the game.”

A another person said, “Crying they dragged his a** to interview.”

One person said, “Bro a toddler.”

Someone else chimed in, “No way they forced him.”
