Erling Haaland Mascot Police Probe
Man City’s star striker has made headlines after an unexpected incident involving the forward and the club’s beloved mascot, Moonbeam resulted in an Erling Haaland mascot police probe!
Moonbeam Checked at Hospital
The woman inside the alien-themed costume reported to the police that Haaland had struck her on the back of the head before a football match against Southampton. The impact was severe enough that she had to be taken to the hospital for further evaluation, where she was treated for suspected whiplash and concussion.
According to reports, the woman initially believed she had been hit by a stray ball. However, upon suspecting that it was Haaland who had delivered the blow, she decided to lodge a complaint about Erling Haaland to the police.
No Action by Police on Haaland
While the club conducted an internal investigation, they concluded that video evidence did not support the claim that an injury was sustained as alleged. Additionally, Greater Manchester Police reviewed the complaint but opted not to take further action.
The timing of the incident coincided with a match where Haaland scored the winning goal in the fifth minute of the Premier League match, securing a victory for Manchester City against a struggling Southampton side. However, City’s form took a downturn afterward, with four consecutive league losses that effectively ended their title challenge.
Business as Usual for Haaland
Despite the controversy, Haaland remains a central figure at Manchester City, having recently signed a lengthy nine-and-a-half-year contract. His goal-scoring prowess continues to make an impact both in the Premier League and on the international stage, where he recently contributed to Norway’s World Cup qualifying success.
While no legal action was taken against Haaland, the incident raised questions about interactions between players and matchday staff. The club has since reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining professionalism and ensuring the safety of all employees on and off the pitch.
