The Norway international managed just two attempts from 16 touches - the least of any player who started the game - in a defeat that likely marks the end of his team's Premier League title challenge.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Despite the devastating defeat, Haaland could be seen smiling as he talked to Virgil van Dijk after the full-time whistle and joking with Mohamed Salah after the Egyptian made it 2-0 from the penalty spot, which angered many of those watching.X user <a href="https://x.com/MitchHalley/status/1863280669624766817" target="_blank">@MitchHalley</a> summed up the frustration, writing: "Haaland is a f*cking disgrace laughing and joking with Liverpool players when getting beat."<a href="https://x.com/AaronBx21/status/1863276553485893959" target="_blank">@AaronBx21</a> added: "Haaland laughing with Salah after we go 2-0 down!! I've seen enough of that sh*t lanky c***, get him gone.""Haaland laughing after that performance would have my head on mars if I was a City fan," said <a href="https://x.com/NathanShapland_/status/1863280618500428127" target="_blank">@NathanShapland_</a>, while <a href="https://x.com/sneakyshaunny/status/1863280606807003275" target="_blank">@sneakyshaunny</a> added: "Haaland has no shame, still laughing and joking, pathetic mentality."Another fan, <a href="https://x.com/PIreland33/status/1863280969446314365" target="_blank">@PIreland33</a>, agreed, saying: "Haaland walking around laughing and joking with all Liverpool players, [I'd] be fuming if that was one of our players having been invisible for 5 games.""Haaland's non-performances supplemented by laughing and joking with opposition defenders during this run needs addressing, needs to sort himself out," said <a href="https://x.com/Dobs85Y/status/1863281158563238288" target="_blank">@Dobs85Y.</a>A furious <a href="https://x.com/Ryan_vanmanen/status/1863277165321552303" target="_blank">@Ryan_vanmanen</a> wrote: "Haaland busy smiling the f*cker does nothing and still wants to make jokes. Your first touch is a joke why don't you laugh about that."And <a href="https://x.com/moloneyrobert/status/1863281225265291333" target="_blank">@moloneyrobert</a> said: "Something very wrong at City. Haaland laughing and joking with the Liverpool players after the match after losing to their main title rivals."
