Aston Villa match-winner Matty Cash may have been copying Erling Haaland's diet.
That is what's being suggested from a cheeky social media post from the club's official account following Villa's win over Manchester City on Sunday.

Cash grabbed the only goal during his side's 1-0 win over City at Villa Park.
His effort extended their impressive recent run against the visitors, with Villa winning their last three home league meetings.
It is also Cash's second goal against City since joining Villa in 2020 having previously scored in a 3-2 defeat at the Etihad Stadium three years ago.
On his goal, Cash told the BBC: "It was a nice strike.

"It's something we worked on yesterday in training, not exactly for me to hit it, it was a special corner but it wasn't meant for me.
"I've had a few like them, I've scored four this season for club and country.
"On the edge of the box I like shooting, it's what I like to do in training, hit them nice and sweet."
Following the final whistle, Villa took to social media with a post seemingly aimed at Haaland.
Writing on X, they said: "Good job Matty Cash had his raw milk and tomahawk steak for breakfast this morning," along with a smiling tongue out emoji.
The post appeared to be a reference to the Norwegian's diet, which he revealed on YouTube earlier in the week.

In the launch video of his own channel, Haaland treated his fans to an insight into his daily life.
This included revealing what the City striker eats and drinks in a day.
As well as cooking a tomahawk steak on a barbecue, he also tucked into a glass of raw milk.
Explaining why he drinks the 'super food', he revealed: "I think, it’s good for us, it’s good for our stomach, it’s good for our skin, it’s good for our bones and muscles, that’s why I drink it."
Despite the cutting-edge diet, Haaland was unable to continue his recent scoring spree at Villa Park, though having failed to find the net for the first time in over two months.
Prior to Sunday's defeat, the 25-year-old had scored in 12 consecutive matches for club and country.
