The 20-year-old once again showed his quality by scoring two goals in 10 minutes for Borussia Dortmund in Saturday's Der Klassiker against Bayern Munich.
Although his side ended up losing that match 4-2, Haaland made the early headlines of the game with his brace before he was substituted with a slight injury problem in the second half.
He has now netted 19 times in the Bundesliga this season and brought his career tally to 100 strikes, doing so in just 146 appearances – quicker than the likes of Kylian Mbappe (180 games), Lionel Messi (219 games) and Cristiano Ronaldo (301 games).

As a consequence, he is one of the hottest properties on the transfer market right now, with Los Blancos, United, City and many more enquiring about his services.
The Spanish giants, though, are believed to be the frontrunners for his signature after they decided to prioritise Haaland over their pursuit of Mbappe, according to AS.
Real are believed to be "desperate" to ensure they do not miss out on the Norwegian, but it remains to be seen whether or not they can produce the financials to seal the deal.
It is understood that a package of €270 million (R5 billion) would be needed to lure him to the Santiago Bernabeu, with about €150 million (R2.8 billion) expected for the transfer fee, plus another €120 million (R2.2 billion) in salary.
Haaland's agent Mino Raiola has reportedly requested for his client to be paid €20 million (R370 million) gross per season, while Real are believed to be interested in offering the striker a six-year deal.
