THIS is the awkward moment Erling Haaland barged into a member of staff after scoring a hat-trick for Man City.
That’s as the striker apparently tried to “avoid giving an interview.”
Haaland, 23, was the toast of the Etihad yet again as his treble helped secure a 5-1 win over Fulham on Saturday.
The Norwegian hitman now has six goals in four league games this season, keeping him on course to at least match last term’s record-breaking haul of 36 strikes.
However, Haaland only had eyes for the Man City dressing room as he came off the field at the final whistle.
The striker was seen on camera marching down the tunnel at a brisk pace.

As he carried the match ball under one arm, a member of staff approached him before pointing in a different direction.
Haaland then barged into the man, who in response grabbed the forward around the waist.
He then turned Haaland in the direction he had previously been pointing.
And along with another member of staff, the trio trudged away from the dressing room, with Ruben Dias giving Haaland a friendly pat on the backside as he went by.

Fans were in stitches on social media afterwards, with many claiming Haaland was being dragged away for a post-match TV interview.
Indeed, the man he barged into appeared to be tickled by Haaland’s initial response.
And one fan said: “Haaland did not want to do an interview after the game.”
Another declared: “Crying they dragged his a** to interview.”
One noted: “Bro a toddler.”
Another added: “No way they forced him.”
