RB Leipzig 0-2 Borussia Dortmund: Key talking points from crucial win

Erling Haaland continues to do what he does best

The meteoric rise of Erling Haaland is one of the most exciting stories of the 2019/20 season; a story that Borussia Dortmund fans will be happy has had one of hopefully many chapters written by the player donning black and yellow colours.

For some perspective, let us take a look at his stats: In 39 games this season, Haaland has managed to notch 44 goals and provide 10 assists, which are astounding numbers for a player who is 19 years of age. His tenacity and hunger for goals has rewarded him with 13 goals across 14 games in the German top flight, making him Dortmund’s second most prolific scorer of the campaign, only behind Jadon Sancho who sits on 17.

This is just half a season’s worth of Haaland. It is hard not to get excited about seeing what the player will be able to do with a full season in the Bundesliga.

Taking a look at the goals, both were examples of Haaland’s uncanny ability of being in the right place at the right time, a quality every successful striker must possess. Neither were belters or spectacular strikes; they were examples of efficiency and precision however, something the Dortmund faithful will look forward to seeing more of next season.
