Erling Haaland is a shoo-in for the Golden Boot and now the league’s miss of the season

An unthinkable Erling Haaland miss vs. Nottingham Forest on Saturday could prove costly in the title race as Manchester City shared the points after a 1-1 draw.

In the 67th minute with City leading 1-0 Haaland had a golden opportunity to double the lead. A shot from Phil Foden was saved by Keylor Navas but fell right to Haaland. The Norwegian goal machine's initial effort from close range hit off the crossbar.

Scientists are still trying to figure out how Haaland would miss the next shot from six yards out.

That fail would come back to hurt as Chris Wood equalized in the 84th minute after a fantastic build-up from Forest.

The other goal of the game came from Bernardo Silva with a beautiful strike before halftime.

The draw sees Arsenal remain top of the Premier League table two points ahead of City and with one more game to play.

As for Haaland he still leads the Golden Boot race by a mile with 26 goals. Harry Kane is the closest to him with 17.

Barring anything crazy Haaland will definitely claim the award on top of his nomination for miss of the season.
