Erling Haaland left out by Man City amid scoring drought
MANCHESTER, England (AP) --- Erling Haaland was left out of Manchester City's
starting lineup for the Premier League game against Wolverhampton on Saturday
amid a slump in form.
The Norway striker, who was named on the bench, has only scored one goal in his
last eight games in all competitions --- and that was a penalty against
Brighton in the league.
City manager Pep Guardiola made the big call on Haaland after two straight
losses --- to Manchester United in the league and Bodo/Glimt in the Champions
League.
City has a crucial Champions League game at home to Galatasaray on Wednesday in
its bid to secure direct qualification to the round of 16.
