Erling Haaland Has Just Scored The Most Ridiculous 'Scissor Kick' Against Schalke

Erling Haaland Has Just Scored The Most Ridiculous 'Scissor Kick' Against Schalke

Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland is now scoring scissor-kicks for fun. This kid can do it all, I swear.

The 20-year-old forward, who has already scored 32 goals in 30 games for club and country this season, gave his side a 2-0 lead just before half-time in their Bundesliga clash against Schalke with a finish of the very highest quality.

Jadon Sancho, who also found himself on the scoresheet on Saturday night, lifted in a perfectly-weighted cross from the left-hand side and seconds later, Haaland adjusted his body, jumped and threw his trusty left boot at the ball.

Before you knew it, the ball had nestled into the back of the net. What a goal.



The Norwegian scored a goal of the season contender against Christian Gross' side, just days after his Champions League performance against Sevilla that proved he is ready to challenge for the Ballon d'Or.

Haaland was instrumental in Dortmund's 3-2 victory in the Champions League on Wednesday evening, scoring two while also providing an assist.

He laid on the pass for Mahmoud Dahoud's equaliser after Suso had put the home side ahead, and then combined with that man Jadon Sancho to get on the scoresheet himself, before burying a second two minutes before half-time.

Is he the best striker in world football right now? If not, who is?
