Erling Haaland's acrobatic goal against Borussia Dortmund in midweek has dominated the headlines, however, footage of the Norwegian's rare but heartwarming gesture has surfaced on the internet.

Haaland continued his rich vein of form in front of goal against his former employers this week when he notched the match-winner to complete a comeback for Man City.

His acrobatic goal brought nostalgic memories of Johan Cruyff's phantom goal against Atletico Madrid in 1973.

Despite the praise he has received for his goal-scoring prowess, the latest video has emerged about his sheer respect for the least-fancied job in professional football, kitman.
