Erling Haaland has put his war wounds on display after several battles with Yerry Mina.

Manchester City star Haaland played 78 minutes in a comfortable 3-0 win against Everton on Sunday afternoon, scoring the second before half time.

During the game, he was embroiled in an ongoing tussle with combative Toffees defender Mina.

The Colombian was accused by City boss Pep Guardiola of ‘unnecessary behaviour’ for his actions.

And afterwards, a shirtless Haaland showed off several scars on his shoulder, stomach, thigh and calves – before editing his boots to reflect his new goalscoring record.

Haaland was also involved in a physical battle with Real Madrid centre back Antonio Rudiger in their Champions League semi-final first-leg tie, which ended as a 1-1 draw, on Tuesday evening.

So it is possible his scars could be from either game.

But centre half Mina certainly made his 6ft 5ins presence felt throughout the clash, using his height and strength to try to affect Haaland’s performance.

Guardiola then accused Mina of underhand tactics after an angry confrontation with the Everton player at full time.

The City boss marched on to the pitch after the final whistle and made straight for the Colombian. Guardiola stood in front of Mina and waved his arms animatedly, shouting as he got his point across.

Mina had been involved in the game’s rough-and-tumble almost from the first minute.

He grappled with Haaland, who was unhappy with the physicality and, later, was involved in a skirmish with Aymeric Laporte, when there appeared to be pinching.

Guardiola, who also approached substitute Conor Coady, would not say what Mina had done that left him so incensed.

‘I am a big fan of Coady, I admire him from Wolves,’ said Guardiola. ‘Mina? It’s not necessary what he does.

‘Away from football, it is not necessary to do what he does every single game. And I told him, ‘You are a good enough player to avoid these kind of things’.

‘He knows (what he did). Ask him. This is not physical, this is not mental. There are things that are not necessary to do that he does. This time with Aymeric, Jack (Grealish), everybody. Ask him.’

Everton boss Sean Dyche, who went straight down the tunnel after clapping Everton’s fans, would not get into a row with Guardiola but had a withering response when it was suggested to him that Mina is a habitual offender.

‘He (Guardiola) must have done well to see it because (Mina) hasn’t been on the pitch for weeks!’ said Dyche, who only recalled the centre back last week. ‘Every manager has his own way of working.’
