Erling Haaland pulled off a sensational Cristiano Ronaldo-esque leap and header to beat a helpless Sascha Burchert in Borussia Dortmund’s 3-0 win on Wednesday.
The 21-year-old Norwegian striker fired Dortmund into the lead in the first half at the Westfalenstadion against Greuther Furth.
Haaland completed his brace in the 82nd minute with a sublime header after being picked out by Julian Brandt from a free-kick.

Brandt crossed in a superb ball to find Dortmund teammate Haaland waiting inside of the box.

Someone else posted: “[Manchester United], give Dortmund a blank cheque and pay him what he wants.”
A third added: “If Haaland starts scoring a lot in the air, then he might pull away from [Kylian] Mbappe…”
While a fourth wrote: “The way he’s going he will bag 1,000 goals.”
Donyell Malen added Dortmund’s third late on to seal three important points for Marco Rose’s men.
Haaland, who has a reported £68m release clause in his current contract, has been linked with a potential exit from Dortmund next summer.
