Erling Haaland becomes second player to twice achieve perfect 10 in brutal L'Equipe ratings

Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland has become just the second player to be given a perfect 10 rating from notoriously harsh French publication L'Equipe.

The Norwegian striker achieved the feat as a result of his remarkable performance against Red Bull Leipzig on Tuesday night in the Champions League round-of-16 second-leg. In just 63 minutes worth of playing time, Haaland bagged five goals against the German outfit as City ran riot and won 7-0 on the night, 8-1 on aggregate.

An overwhelming amount of elite-level players go their entire career without being given a perfect 10 rating from L'Equipe, but this is already Haaland's second this season. The first came after the Manchester derby at the Etihad last October in a clash that City won 6-3 and saw their talismanic forward score a hat-trick and assist two.
