Haaland accused of ‘shameless’ penalty dive (VIDEO)

The Norwegian striker appeared to take a forced tumble against Barcelona on Wednesday night

Manchester City star Erling Haaland was criticized online for appearing to take a dive in a charity match against FC Barcelona on Wednesday, though some fought the Norwegian's corner and claimed he had been fouled. 

The two sides met in an unusual friendly three weeks into their respective seasons in Spain and England but for a good cause.

In a show of support for the fight against ALS, which ex-Barca player and goalkeeping coach Juan Carlos Unzue suffers from, 91,000 fans packed the Camp Nou to see the English champions take on the La Liga giants and were treated to a six-goal thriller.

With Memphis Depay putting Barca 3-2 up late with what could prove to be his last goal for the club, Xavi Hernandez seemed to be on his way to a first career win over his former coach Pep Guardiola.

After a long pause as Luke Mbete was treated for a head injury suffered when clashing with Andreas Christensen, however, play resumed and Haaland took a questionable fall in the box to earn his side a penalty which Riyadh Mahrez converted on 99 minutes to seal a 3-3 draw.
