Erling Haaland misses HUGE chance in the Manchester derby from two-yards out against United as Gary Lineker labels the shocker 'the WORST miss I've ever seen at this level'

Erling Haaland missed a huge chance to put Manchester City level from close range in Sunday's derby against United at the Etihad.

The visitor's were ahead in the end-to-end match after Marcus Rashford scored a goal-of-the-season contender from distance in the opening 10 minutes.

City then relentlessly continued to carve chances against a nervy United defence but couldn't take them, most notably when Haaland missed from two-yards out in the dying embers of the half.

A ball lobbed into Andre Onana's box fell to Haaland - who leads the Premier League's golden boot race with 17 strikes - and looked a certain goal before the City superstar lost his focus with the goal gaping.
