ERLING HAALAND produced arguably his most memorable performance yet against Paris Saint-Germain to extend his sensational hot streak.

A brace past the Ligue 1 champions on Tuesday night set Borussia Dortmund on course for the Champions League quarter-finals as their £18million star continued his affinity with the competition.

Having excelled in the group stages during his maiden season in the competition, Haaland is on ten goals in seven games – the quickest any player has ever reached double figures and the first teenager to do so in a single campaign.

Sadly for the striker, his poacher's finish and powerful rocket from range were not added to with a third strike, meaning he missed out on a seventh hat-trick for the season so far.

With a trio bagged on both his Bundesliga and Champions League debuts, he also hit four hat-tricks at former side RB Salzburg.

It is with the Austrians where he registered six of his eight assists, including two in a 7-2 demolition of Hartberg which also featured, you guessed it, a hat-trick.

In total, Haaland boasts 39 goals in just 29 appearances and that is certainly not down to bullying weaker opponents.

Across every one of the five competitions he has featured in this year, from the Austrian and German cups to both leagues and in Europe, he is bettering a rate of a goal-per-game.

But it is not just in front of goal where the Norwegian is showing his talents.

During Tuesday's clash with PSG, Haaland cleared a corner and proceeded to race into a counter-attack.

His 60-metre sprint up the pitch, albeit it from a standing start, was then clocked at 6.64 seconds – a staggering 0.3 seconds off the world athletics record set by Christian Coleman in 2018.

If these stats were possessed by Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo they would seem impressive but to be held by a teenager who hadn't played in the Champions League until five months ago is simply staggering.
