"I'm living the dream" - Erling Haaland loving life at Manchester City after netting winner against Borussia Dortmund

Erling Haaland believes he is 'living the dream' after once again making the difference for Manchester City in a comeback win over Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday evening.

After a sluggish first half display, City fell behind courtesy of a clever header from Jude Bellingham, who starred for the visitors on a return to home soil.

However, a thunderous strike by John Stones from distance and an acrobatic effort from former Dortmund boy Erling Haaland completed the turnaround for Pep Guardiola's men at the Etihad Stadium.

Haaland is scoring goals for fun after joining the Premier League champions from Borussia Dortmund for a reported fee of £51 million in the summer.

After netting the winner against old rivals Bayern Munich in pre-season, the Norwegian netted a fine brace on his Premier League debut as City kicked off their title defence with a 2-0 victory away at West Ham.

A crucial strike in a hard fought 3-3 draw against Newcastle at St. James' Park was followed up consecutive hat-tricks against Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest for the 22-year-old.

The Leeds-born forward opened the scoring against a resolute Aston Villa side in Manchester City's latest league outing - getting on the end of an inch-perfect cross into the six-year box from Kevin De Bruyne.

Pep Guardiola has been impressed with how quickly Haaland has settled into life in England and the numbers his frontman is racking up so early into his debut campaign at City.

Having made an electrifying start to proceedings at the Etihad Stadium, Haaland - who supported City as a child - is enjoying his football and believes he can get even better in sky blue.

After scoring a late winner against Dortmund on Wednesday, the striker told TNT Sports: "I'm living the dream, I'm happy, and more to come."

A dream delivery played into Haaland from the outside of Joao Cancelo's foot saw the Norwegian stretched and flew into the cross to smash the ball home and secure the points for the hosts.

On his goal and Cancelo's sensational assist, Haaland added: "I think I have really long legs, that's why I reached the ball - but it was a good cross and in the end - it was a really good goal, I have to say."

Haaland did what he does best when City opened their Champions League campaign against Sevilla last week, adding two to his tally for the campaign - with Ruben Dias and Phil Foden also amongst the goals in a 4-0 triumph for Guardiola's men in Spain.

Guardiola could look to rest Haaland, who has already scored 13 times in all competitions this season, when City return to Premier League action against Wolves at the Molineux Stadium on Saturday.

Julian Alvarez could come in for City's number nine after scoring a brilliant brace on his first league start in a 6-0 thrashing of Nottingham Forest in August.

Whilst it is still fairly early into the new season, the pace at which Haaland is scoring and the hunger City's marksman is showing to score every time he steps on the pitch is proving to be a scary proposition for opposition defences every passing week.
