Best known for sticking the ball in the back of the net, Manchester City star Erling Haaland showed off another talent of his after the EFL Cup fourth round tie against Brighton & Hove Albion.

The Norwegian striker danced after City progressed into the last eight of the competition via a 4-3 shootout win over Brighton at the Etihad Stadium.

Rested for the game alongside several other key players, Haaland appeared in good spirits as another opportunity to win silverware became clearer.

While Enzo Maresca opted to grant Erling Haaland, Ruben Dias, and Gianluigi Donnarumma a well-earned three-day break from match action, the Norwegian superstar was on hand to support his teammates from the pitchside.

Dressed casually in an oversized coat and slacks, he did a little dance as the home players celebrated on the pitch before sharing an embrace with shootout hero Geronimo Rulli.

His unscripted, joyful dance sent social media platforms into a frenzy, as it exposed another side of his persona that was never previously seen.

Manchester City's victory demonstrated deep squad resilience, with backup goalkeeper Rulli delivering two pivotal saves during the shootout after Brighton forced a 2-2 draw in normal time.

The player brought in for captain Dias, Vitor Reis, was impressive at the back and scored his first goal for the club to make it 2-2 in the second half.

Haaland's lighthearted celebration underlined the positive dressing room morale as City remain firmly competitive across all domestic and European fronts.
