Erling Haaland left commentators stunned after producing an acrobatic back heeled volley to double Manchester City‘s lead in the Champions League.
Pep Guardiola‘s side had led 1-0 against Sparta Prague at the Etihad Stadium, with Phil Foden giving the hosts the lead over the Czech team.
Haaland doubled the advantage in stunning fashion after being set-up by Brazilian winger Savinho.
Savinho’s cross had arrived into the box at an awkward height for Haaland, but the Norwegian twisted his frame to connect with an acrobatic back heeled volley.
Haaland made the ideal contact to send the ball beyond the dive of Sparta Prague goalkeeper Peter Vindahl.

The 24-year-old’s athleticism was hailed by TNT Sports co-commentator Glenn Hoddle, who labelled the effort as an ‘amazing goal’.
‘My word, my word, what has he just done? That is an amazing goal,’ Hoddle said.
‘Haaland’s standing there not involved in the game. Savinho does really well, stops and starts him, crosses the ball.
Oh my word, off the back of his heel. He knows exactly what he’s doing.
‘The goalkeeper cannot read that, that is just an incredible finish.
‘I didn’t know he was that good at kung-fu as well, an unbelievable finish.’
