Dortmund vs PSG: Player ratings as Erling Haaland outshines Neymar and Kylian Mbappe

Erling Haaland scored a tap-in and a thunderbolt to give Borussia Dortmund the edge in their Champions League last-16 tie with Paris Saint-Germain. 

PSG's wealth of talent, featuring Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, barely featured in a cagey first half from the visitors, who seemed happy to contain Dortmund and keep things tight. 

After a goalless opening 45 minutes, Haaland broke the deadlock with 20 minutes remaining when he pounced on a loose ball in the six-yard box. 

PSG replied almost immediately when Mbappe whipped a cross into the centre for Neymar to tap home.

But Haaland had the last word, fizzing a stunning strike from outside the box into the top corner to ensure Dortmund take a 2-1 lead to Paris.
