Erling Haaland shows true colours after replacement Julian Alvarez scores vs Liverpool

Erling Haaland was spotted wildly celebrating after watching replacement Julian Alvarez make up for his absence by scoring a vital goal for Manchester City against Liverpool.

The injured 22-year-old missed the match after picking up a groin problem before the start of the international break, but that didn't stop him from celebrating Alvarez's equaliser. Haaland was spotted going mad with joy in the stands alongside his dad, Alfie, when the Argentine forward emphatically made it 1-1 following Mohamed Salah's opening goal against the run of play.

City had gone behind early in the first half and it looked as if Haaland's absence, unconfirmed until little over an hour before kick-off, was about to prove fatal to their chances of picking up a crucial win. But when Alvarez finished off a slick move involving Riyad Mahrez, Ilkay Gundogan and Jack Grealish, parity was restored for Pep Guardiola's title-chasing side.
