Erling Haaland is back with a bang for Manchester City in the Champions League.
After just one goal in his last four club games, the 24-year-old's strike against Feyenoord has seen the Norwegian break another record in the competition.

And this time it's a Manchester United legend he's toppled.
Haaland broke the deadlock in the 44th minute from the penalty spot - his 16th of the season in all competitions.
And that means Haaland has now been directly involved in 50 goals in 44 appearances in the Champions League.
He now boasts 45 goals and five assists in the European Cup - spread across his time at Red Bull Salzburg, Borussia Dortmund and now City.
And it means he has reached the milestone in record time.
It's just one game fewer than ex-Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy, who managed the feat in 44 matches.
He set that in 2004 as he scored all four goals in a 4-1 group stage win over Sparta Prague.
In total the Dutch forward scored 56 goals and made 18 assists - 74 involvements in total - as his storied career took in Real Madrid after his Premier League tenure.
