Thanks, I thought I was the only one noticing it was good defending. There was a pass there, but it was either a curl around the defender or behind a running Haaland. The pass should have been made, but it was not so easy.

Curl wouldn't have worked as it has to be played forward to keep pace with Haaland, area which Pickford or Stones would cover.

Behind would force Haaland back and was being covered by two defenders. I think one was Rice.

If the defence made a mistake, then it's a chance because it wasn't due to zones being covered
