Erling Haaland pick up right where he left off

Before the two month break Haaland was scoring goals at will for Borussia Dortmund. To no one’s surprise at all, Haaland scored the first Bundesliga goal with the resumption of play today. It was a great goal all around, Brandt and Hazard linked up exceptionally well before Hazard whipped in an inch perfect cross to Haaland feet. In typical Haaland fashion he made no mistake finishing off the chance.

Haaland also picked up an assist on Guerreiro’s second goal to go along with his goal. Dortmund fans are used to Haaland’s scoring rate but we could be looking at one of the best finishers in football, the young Norwegian rarely misses chances.
