Erling Haaland breaks two records in Champions League clash against RB Leipzig

Manchester City hotshot Erling Haaland has broken two records following his goal against RB Leipzig in the Champions League.

Haaland found the net in Manchester City’s thrilling 3-2 victory against the Bundesliga side on Tuesday night at the Etihad Stadium.

The Premier League powerhouse was determined to get back to winning form in the match, following a 1-1 draw in their previous Premier League encounter against Liverpool.

Despite having secured a spot in the Champions League last 16, Pep Guardiola fielded a formidable team to face Leipzig.

According to reports, Manchester City mounted a dramatic comeback to overcome their opponents, as goals from Haaland and Phil Foden nullified Lois Openda’s first-half brace.

Julian Alvarez sealed the victory with a goal three minutes before the final whistle, extending City’s lead at the top of Group G to 15 points.
