ERLING HAALAND left a reporter red-faced after saying he scored with his “balls” against Chelsea on Sunday afternoon.
The Norwegian superstar scored two goals against the Blues in a dramatic 4-4 draw at Stamford Bridge – but his second goal was a little unusual.

There was no surprise with Erling Haaland’s first – a classic spot-kick from the Norwegian opened the game up for Man City.
City then levelled at halftime after Manuel Akanji‘s strike.
Haaland, 23, then netted again within 90 seconds of the restart.
First Haaland skinned Moises Caicedo with a neat turn and pass on the halfway line.
Phil Foden fed Julian Alvarez who crossed to the far post, where City’s Nordic goal glutton skidded in front of Reece James to plough the ball over the line.
Proving he’ll score any way he can, Haaland appeared to push the ball towards the goal with his crotch/butt.
His second goal was so bizarre it left reporters stunned after the match.
The striker was asked about his second goal and lit up about how the ball made its way into the net.

He told Viaplay: “I have never scored with my balls before. So that is a milestone.”
Despite putting his side into the lead twice it was not enough to secure the three points.
A dramatic late spot-kick from ex-Manchester City star Cole Palmer saw Chelsea pick up an impressive point against the frontrunners.
Meanwhile, last season’s Premier League Golden Boot winner is off to another tremendous start with his 13th league goal of the term.
Haaland is now the quickest player in top-flight English football to reach 50 goals – in 47 league games – breaking the record with a his ballsy goal.
He thrashed the previous holder Andy Cole who reached the milestone in 65 matches.
