He scored the spearhead in the 84th minute and became the winner of the match at home against Borussia Dortmund.
After a run with few chances, it was the visitors who brought out the best from the dressing room. Marco Reus sent a beautiful cross into the box, where Judd Bellingham lurked. The youngster slid forward and headed Dortmund into the lead after 57 minutes.
Ten minutes before the end of the match, the hosts tied when John Stones hit the ball from 16 to 17 meters and stuck the ball into the roof of the net. Four minutes later, Haaland rose in the air and hit the karate with a 2-1 goal.
The match continued for the hosts, who turned things around in four minutes and got three new points in the Champions League group stage.
The beginning of an adventure
Haaland was bought for Manchester City from Borussia Dortmund this summer for around NOK 600 million. The price is only about 60 per cent of Haaland’s assumed value and is due to a clause in the contract with the German club.
The 22-year-old got his dream start at Manchester City when he made his Premier League debut with two goals at West Ham. After that, he scored two hat-tricks and a total of ten goals in six Premier League matches.
The Norwegian also scored two goals when he made his City debut away to Sevilla on Tuesday. In total, the Norwegian scored 13 goals in nine matches with the light blues.
Tops Group J
In the second match in Group G, the score was 0-0 between Denmark’s Copenhagen and Spain’s Seville. The Danes were defeated by Borussia Dortmund in Germany when they lost 0-3 in the first group stage match.
Manchester City leads the group, three points behind Dortmund. FCK and Seville follow in the back places. City will face Copenhagen in the next two first division matches on October 5 and 11. Before that, they will face Wolverhampton and their arch-rivals Manchester United in the Premier League.
In the English Premier League, Manchester City are second behind league leaders Arsenal. Arsenal leads the standings with 15 points, one point ahead of City in the first six rounds of the league.
