ERLING HAALAND bullied Brighton's Adam Webster before scoring Manchester City's opener in their 3-1 win.
The 22-year-old goal-scoring machine latched onto goalkeeper Ederson's long ball.
He then took the ball past Seagulls keeper Robert Sanchez, shrugged off Webster and fired into an empty net.
And fans are saying Haaland bullied Webster and made him "look like a school child".
Haaland's dual with the centre-back has also been likened to doing battle with Italy's little man Lorenzo Insigne.
A fan said on Twitter: "The way Haaland pushes Webster is too funny."

Haaland then secured a brace before half-time from the penalty spot.
