Manchester City won a free-kick about 45 yards from goal and what happened next can't have sat well with Sam Allardyce. The new Leeds United boss, and presumably still host of the No Tippy Tappy Football podcast, could only watch from his technical area as Pep Guardiola's side spurned the opportunity to get it up top for the big man.
Instead, Julian Alvarez and Aymeric Laporte passed it between each other like they were in the park as Leeds forward Patrick Bamford stood yards away looking unclear about what they were doing so casually.
Suddenly, the ball was shuffled forward to Kevin De Bruyne and a host of runners were charging into the box ready for the delivery.
Instead, the Belgian went out to Riyad Mahrez and yet again Haaland was snubbed as the Algerian ignored everyone in the box and laid it square for Ilkay Gundogan.
