Former Leeds United duo Alfie Haaland and Olivier Dacourt have shared a brilliant moment on social media. During a sit down with his son Erling, after signing for Manchester City, the pair looked at old footage including a game against the Whites.
The father and son both laughed as Alfie Haaland was chopped to the floor by Dacourt during a Premier League fixture at Maine Road.
"See, I was quick - against Leeds.," said Haaland senior. "I had some battle with Dacourt."

The French midfielder was Leeds' record signing in the summer of 2000, with a fee of £7.2 million paid to Lens. However, Alfie Haaland would leave the club that summer, joining Manchester City for a reported fee of £2.5million.
Despite the brief overlap, the two Whites midfielders would not play together, but enjoy a number of battles over the years as opponents. In response to the video shared online, Dacourt said: "Loved to kick your Ass."
Leeds United supporters also waded in on the tackle. They said:
@TezWardley said: "Top player for Leeds Olivier."
@AndrewGaunt10 said: "Ollie Dacourt....what a player ! MOT"
@geobuywise101 tweeted: "You both should have stayed at Leeds longer."
