Erling Haaland Makes Champions League History With Goal vs Dortmund
Erling Haaland has written another remarkable chapter in Champions League history after finding the back of the net for Manchester City against Borussia Dortmund.
Manchester City's Erling Haaland came back to haunt Borussia Dortmund with a clinical finish against his former team, while Phil Foden bagged a brilliant brace as the hosts cruised to a 4-1 win in the Champions League on Wednesday to climb to fourth.
As for Haaland, the Norwegian’s finish made him the first player to score in five consecutive Champions League games for three different clubs (including Red Bull Salzburg and Dortmund). Elsewhere for City, Savinho recovered from a difficult game against Bournemouth to star in the victory.
Erling Haaland continued his astonishing goalscoring streak as he fired past his former club in Manchester City’s 4–1 Champions League win over Borussia Dortmund.
Suddenly, the six-year-centre-forward itch created by Robert Lewandowski’s switch to Bayern Munich in 2014 had been scratched. Haaland scored quicker than his Polish counterpart — 86 goals at a rate of one every 84 minutes compared to 103 strikes at a rate of one every 139 minutes — during his time, but his personality was just as potent.
Erling Haaland is now the first player to score in five consecutive Champions League games for three different clubs.
