It was the visitors who surprisingly broke the deadlock after just 22 seconds when Yoane Wissa headed home from close range.

The Norway international did well to swivel and to thunder an effort into the net which represented his 98th goal for the Club.
His 99th goal soon arrived with little over 15 minutes remaining of the first half when Ederson’s direct ball saw Haaland shrug off Nathan Pinnock before clipping over Mark Flekken.
