'I see you more than my missus!': Erling Haaland's hilarious reaction to cameraman after leading Man City to a perfect Premier League start at Liverpool - despite guilty verdict hanging over them

Erling Haaland was in high spirits after helping guide Manchester City to a 3-0 thrashing of Liverpool, joking with the cameraman during the post-match celebrations at Anfield.

Haaland, 26, scored the opener just minutes after Ryan Gravenberch had been sent off by referee Chris Kavanagh, in a win that kept City three points clear of Arsenal at the top of the Premier League.

The Norwegian striker made sure to lap up the plaudits from the adoring away fans after the match, celebrating the victory alongside his team-mates as the rest of Anfield emptied quickly.

As Haaland walked off the turf, clearly in high spirits, he was followed by a cameraman, who appeared to say: 'Great goal, mate. Great goal.'

The City man then jokingly responded: 'You are everywhere. I see you more than my missus, I do.'

Haaland has been dating girlfriend Isabel Haugseng Johansen, who is regularly featured on the striker's now-famous YouTube channel, for five years, since his career began blossoming at Borussia Dortmund.

'She sent me the message,' the Manchester City striker once told Norwegian TV. 'She played for the same club I played for, Bryne. She was the one who checked me out. I wasn't the one who checked her out.

'From my experience, you find your girlfriend when you least expect it. If you're always looking for a girlfriend, you'll never find one. Get out and socialise. Meet people and get to know people.'

The pair share an almost two-year-old son together, who was born back in December 2024. 

The power couple will soon be living it up in a luxury property in Abu Dhabi after Haaland bought a property in the newly built Ohana Development on Yas Island in the United Arab Emirates' capital.

His 53-year-old father, Alf-Inge Haaland, has also purchased a residence at the same complex, with property prices reportedly costing up to £7.5million.

Ahead of the high-stakes clash with Liverpool, Haaland Jr publicly threw his support behind the club, urging fans to 'enjoy the ride' in a show of defiance that echoed the stance of City's Abu Dhabi owners, who are fiercely appealing the verdict.

Enzo Maresca's win over Liverpool was the club's first fixture since they were found guilty of breaching Premier League financial regulations between 2009 and 2018.

The club maintained their innocence and appealed against the verdict.

If City lose their appeal, the Premier League have a range of sanctions at their disposal – including relegation or expulsion.
