It is yet another prestigious award for our prolific Norwegian who realised a boyhood dream by winning the Champions League against Inter on Saturday evening.
The goal that won the Technical Observer Panel’s vote came in the 2-1 win over Dortmund last September, with Haaland somehow connecting with Joao Cancelo’s clever cross towards the back post on 84 minutes by guiding the ball with the outside of his left boot.
City had trailed 1-0 after Jude Bellingham headed the visitors in front but with 10 minutes remaining, John Stones levelled the scores to set up a thrilling finale.
Haaland’s goal was one of three City strikes to make the top 10.
Kevin De Bruyne’s low fizzer away to Real Madrid came seventh, with Rodrigo’s thumping effort against Bayern Munich finishing tenth.
