He marked his return to action after missing the last two games with a goal and showed his joy with his celebration.

As he walked away, he ran behind the goal and found a microphone next to the field used for television broadcasts.

One fan posted on X: “Did Haaland just do a 'woohoo!' by Homer Simpson. on the microphone?”

Another wrote: “Haaland does a perfect Homer Simpson 'Woo-hoo' after scoring. What can't he do?”

Haaland was satisfied with having done the job and returning to the field after a brief absence.

“We knew it was going to be a fight and the course wasn't the easiest to play on, but we can't complain.
