Erling Haaland admitted that he was frustrated to be substituted after scoring five goals in Manchester City ’s Champions League demolition of RB Leipzig.
The striker put in a virtuoso performance as Pep Guardiola’s side destroyed RB Leipzig 7-0 at the Etihad to book their place in the quarter finals. He was substituted off in the 62 nd minute of the game, ensuring that he was not able to complete a sensational ‘double hat-trick’ - a feat he conceded he'd have loved the chance to complete.
The Norwegian – whose five goals came within a devastating 35-minute spell – already had a hat-trick by half-time; a penalty, close-range finish stemming from his pressing of the goalkeeper, and a scrappy third after Leipzig had cleared the ball off the line. Two more close range finishes furthered the pain for the visitors, either side of Ilkay Gundogan and Kevin de Bruyne goals.
