'I love him even more because he’s Leeds' - Whites fans react to Erling Haaland's latest performance

Erling Haaland continued to live up to his reputation as one of the best young talents in Europe after another stunning Champions League display for Salzburg on Wednesday night.

The 19-year-old is seen as one of football's next superstars after a superb start to this season, which has seen him score 11 goals in nine games as well as claiming five assists.

But it's the Champions League where he is really making a name for himself as he took his goal tally to six in just three games following a brace in his side's 3-2 defeat to Napoli last night.

The Norwegian striker is the son of former Leeds United and Manchester City player Alf-Inge Haaland, with his double helping him become the competition's top goalscorer, one ahead of Bayern Munich’s Robert Lewandowski on five.

Haaland previously revealed his dream of winning the Premier League with Leeds back in 2017, and it is clear that Leeds United fans are delighted to see the youngster doing well.
