And the City hitman appeared to rattle off an uncanny Homer Simpson impersonation as he wheeled away in delight after bagging his 31st goal of the season.

Haaland screamed "woo-hoo" as he ran past the pitchside microphone and celebrated doubling the English champions' lead.

And it didn't go unnoticed by fans watching the match, who flocked to social media to give their thoughts.

One wrote: "Erling Haaland with his best Homer Simpson impersonation with that woo-hoo."

One perplexed fan asked: "Why did Erling Haaland do a Homer Simpson down the microphone?"

Pep Guardiola's troops ran out 2-0 winners at the City Ground thanks to goals from Josko Gvardiol and Haaland.

The win saw them keep pace with current table toppers Arsenal, who were victorious in the North London derby just a few hours earlier.

Guardiola said of Arsenal: "We prefer they lose, we cannot control what they do.

"There are four games left, I don’t think they are going to lose any points, so we know exactly what we have to do.”

City will be back in action on Saturday, welcoming Wolves to the Etihad.
