Erling Haaland's gesture to referee during UCL clash spotted

While Haaland's double against Copenhagen was what stole the headlines, the Norwegian's incredible gesture to the referee was also quite something from the forward.

Having scored the opener inside seven minutes of action, City were pushing for a second goal in a bid to put the game to bed early.

Sportbible reports it was during this time Haaland proved his humbleness with a video of him offering to help Donatas Rumsas, who was officiating the match.

The Lithuanian match official dropped his vanishing foam which is used for marking out free kicks, with the City striker picking it up and sprinting over to the referee to give it back to him.

Incredibly, the 22-year-old then proceeded to join his teammates in attack in search of their second goal.
