Seamus Coleman revealed what he said to Erling Haaland prior to the Manchester City striker missing a second-half penalty in Thursday’s draw against Everton.
Everton recorded a third consecutive draw against big-name opposition away to City, with Iliman Ndiaye’s first-half strike cancelling out Bernardo Silva’s opening goal.
It’s the 12th match from City’s previous 13 across all competitions City have failed to win, as the problems continue to mount for under-fire boss Pep Guardiola.
When asked by Amazon Prime about the confrontation, Coleman remained tight-lipped about what he said to the Norwegian superstar.
A giggling Coleman stated: “No comment,” before presenter Dan Walker asked if it was a festive message.
Coleman continued: “Yeah, Merry Christmas. We came here wanting to get a point and you’ll do anything you can sometimes to win. There was no swearing or anything like that.”
The veteran right-back picked up a yellow card for his efforts, but he’ll happily take it, given team-mate Jordan Pickford made the save.
