Erling Haaland is unstoppable

Borussia Dortmund have a new star striker in Erling Haaland who has not slowed down at all since joining Borussia Dortmund. With 11 goals in 7 games across all competitions thus far, Haaland has proven to be too much to handle for opposing defences. He is just an absolutely clinical finisher that always seems to be in the right spot to find the back of the net.

Not only does he score at a ridiculous rate, his effort on the pitch is a joy to watch. He gives absolutely everything in his pressing. He is also not shy in coming back to help defensively, he’s often dropping back into his own half to track back and cover an open position. It’s so endearing to fans to see his efforts on that side of the ball as much as his talent for scoring goals. His brace in this game was massive for Borussia Dortmund and their chances of moving on in the competition.
