Erling Haaland celebrate his second against PSG

It was a fantastic evening for man of the moment Erling Haaland, who fired in his ninth and 10th Champions League goals of the season to give Borussia Dortmund a 2-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain.

His celebrations were short-lived as Neymar scored a crucial away goal for PSG to level the tie when he tapped home a Kylian Mbappe cross.

Mbappe beat two players on a dazzling run to square for Neymar, who had the simple task of tapping into an empty net on 75 minutes.

However, Haaland restored Dortmund’s lead with an emphatic strike from 20 yards just two minutes later.

Haaland has taken just seven matches to reach his tally of ten goals which is four games quicker than any other player in Champions League history.

The 19-year-old, who was making his European debut for the German club, put his side ahead as he beat Keylor Navas from close-range after the ball fell fortuitously to him in the box in the 69th minute.
