Erling Haaland sets Champions League records for quickest scoring start
Baku, February 18, AZERTAC
Erling Haaland became the first player in Champions League history to score at least 17 goals in his first 13 appearances - but he didn't stop there, according to Goal.com.
Minutes after putting Dortmund ahead of Sevilla in the last-16 of the Champions League, the 20-year-old Dortmund striker struck again with a composed low finish to the far post with his lethal left foot.
On a stage that has minted so many attacking superstars in its history, Haaland has so far stood above the rest in terms of finding the net.
After previously becoming the fastest to five and 10 goals in Champions League play, Haaland became the only player to reach at least 17 goals in his first 13 appearances in the competition. He padded that mark soon after.
He has scored 10 Champions League goals in just seven appearances for Borussia Dortmund, the quickest a player has ever reached 10 goals for a single team in the competition, breaking Roy Makaay's record with Bayern Munich.
With Haaland's second accurate finish on Wednesday, he moved into a tie with Robert Lewandowski for most Champions League goals since the start of last season.
