The Borussia Dortmund striker scored a brace in his side's 3-2 away win over Sevilla this week, putting BVB in a relativeley comfortable position ahead of the second leg.

The 20-year-old has now scored eight goals in five appearances in the competition this season, seeing him climb to the top of the tournament's scoring chart.

Overall, he has now found the back of the net 18 times in just 13 UCL matches in his young career to date, and his two goals on Wednesday saw him break two records, as pointed out by Goal.

His first strike ensured that he became the quickest player to reach 17 Champions League goals, a milestone he bettered with his second goal against Sevilla.

In addition, he has now scored 10 Champions League goals in just seven appearances for Dortmund, becoming the quickest player to reach 10 strikes for a single club and breaking the record previously held by Roy Makaay.
