Bundesliga: Borussia Dortmund 3 - 1 Mainz 05

-

Erling Braut Haaland scored twice on his return from injury as Borussia Dortmund secured a victory over Mainz.

The Norwegian has now scored 49 times in 49 league matches for Dortmund and 70 goals in 68 matches in all competitions. That is an incredible return for someone who is still only 21. You can watch the highlights from this match in the video below.

The win was Dortmund's ninth in succession at home. They now have 18 points after 8 matches. It has been a good start to the season for them and they will be hoping to push rivals Bayern Munich close this season.

YouTube comments

The match was spoken about heavily across YouTube and other social media platforms. One Dortmund fan said: "Haaland's 70th goal for Dortmund in under two years at the club. No words."

Another added: "Reus and Haaland make such a lethal duo."

Twitter reaction

Dortmund's English speaking Twitter account asked a simple question: "How's everyone doing?"

One replied: "I am feeling wonderful today, Also, I am happy that Big Erl came back to score a double against Mainz."

Another added: "Thinking about the best striker."

Rumours about Haaland's won't get away

The long term future of the Norwegian is still up for debate. You'd have to wonder where he will end up next season. Manchester City, Chelsea, Real Madrid and even Bayern Munich have all been linked with a move for him at the end of this season. 

A recent report from the Chronicle, a local newspaper based in Newcastle, has suggested that the now rich Newcastle United should even make an audacious move for the striker. Could you see him playing in the North East of England.

It's time to for another sliding doors moment in football  We travel back to 2004. Manchester United face Porto in the last-16 of the Champions League.  Author - Liam C What actually happened?

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Author - Mark Lee In a lacklustre match, Rangers wasted several opportunities to secure three points. A combination of poor finishing and solid defending from Kilmarnock made it another frustrating afternoon for the Belgian manager.
