Manchester City hotshot Erling Haaland has insisted that the secret behind his remarkable goalscoring record is simply the pre-match Lasagne his father, Alf-Inge, whips up in the kitchen.
Haaland junior has adapted seamlessly to life in the Premier League - and he continued his incredible recent form by blitzing Manchester United with a stunning hat-trick in Sunday's 6-3 triumph. The 22-year-old has now plundered 17 goals in just 11 matches since joining the club from Borussia Dortmund, while his latest treble means he has notched hat-trick's in three consecutive home league matches.
The irrepressible forward had a similar record in Germany, where he bagged 86 goals in just 89 games during his two-and-a-half-year spell at Dortmund. And the Norwegian international has attributed his recent purple patch to his father's special Lasagne recipe.
