“If He Was Nobody Could Be in Jail Now”: Fans Stunned as Pitch Invader Celebrating Goal With Erling Haaland Turns Out to Be Former World Champion Boxer

Erling Haaland strikes once again, this time scoring the first goal of the match between his team, Manchester City, and Sheffield United at Bramall Lane in the English Premier League (EPL) this Sunday. Now, that the diehard City fans were going crazy, one individual in particular couldn’t resist approaching Haaland by himself. A pitch invader ran onto the field to hug the football player and even gave him a kiss on the neck. Interestingly, the Norwegian invader was the first person who celebrated the goal with ‘Daemon’.

Later, it was found out that the invader was none other than the former boxing world champion, Terry Flanagan. Flanagan held the WBO Lightweight for 2 years and lost only twice out of a total of 38 bouts. So, ‘Turbo’ is touching the headlines again as he jumped up on Haaland to show support for his favorite football club. Before this, Haaland made the headlines as Dillon Danis made questionable claims about the footballer. Anyway, about the pitch invasion, many fans were surprised by such an act.
