Bizarre moment Man City fans think Erling Haaland was involved in pitch celebrations… but was just blonde-haired fan

ONE Manchester City fan thought Erling Haaland had pitch invaded after Pep Guardiola's side won a third Premier League title in four years.

Delirious home fans stormed the Etihad after the 3-2 win over Aston Villa, with away keeper Robin Olsen claiming he was attacked.

And in the melee one member of the home crowd reckoned he had spotted incoming striker Haaland.

Haaland officially becomes a City player on July 1 after the club activated his £51million Borussia Dortmund release clause.

Although one topless fan though Haaland had headed to Manchester early.

They approached who they believed was the new Manchester City man, holding out their phone to take a selfie.

But in actual fact it turned out to be an incredible Haaland doppelganger.

The fellow City supporter simply boasted similar luscious blonde locks to those of superstar forward Haaland.

Fans were quick to mock the City supporter for their hilarious gaff on social media.

One replied to the pictured: "He thinks he's him," with laughing face emojis.

Others though were more sympathetic, with the blonde hairstyle striking a remarkable resemblance to that of Haaland.

A social media user pointed out: "It does looks like him tbh."

The incident came as City's home crowd poured out of the stands and onto the pitch after securing a third Premier League title in four years.

A Rodri goal sandwiched between an Ilkay Gundogan brace saw Guardiola's side overturn a 2-0 deficit against Aston Villa to win the league.

Matty Cash and Philippe Coutinho had seen Steven Gerrard's outfit take a shock two-goal lead.

But Guardiola's stars kept their cool to pip Liverpool to the title by a single point.
