The best reactions to the Haaland hat trick: “Do we even deserve it?”
The Savior Haaland is here: It took Erling Haaland only 183 seconds to score his first Bundesliga goal. And it was a damn important goal: Borussia Dortmund was on the verge of wasting the second half of the season at FC Augsburg and was now 3-1 behind. Then the 19-year-old winter newcomer came on the field and scored – several times.
In the 56th minute, Lucien Favre brought the Norwegian into play. An unusually early change for the Swiss coach. But Favre had to react. FC Augsburg had just shot 3-1 through Niederlechner. The embarrassment threatened. But Haaland redeemed the Dortmund in the 59th minute and made the connection goal. Then the madness began.
Just two minutes later, Jadon Sancho scored the 3: 3 equalizer. Ten minutes later it was Haaland again who took the lead. But this time he only had to push the ball over the line, because colleague Thorgan Hazard in Fifa style fit in the middle in front of the empty goal, Then the newcomer from Salzburg had licked blood and even scored 5: 3 in the 79th minute, doing a hat-trick.
BVB fans had already found two scapegoats on Twitter with Favre and Akanji – but when Haaland came, the angry tweets developed into expressions of love for the new blond boy in the BVB storm. The tenor was clear: BVB finally has a center forward. And then also such an accurate player, One that “only” cost 20 million euros. A bargain in the overheated football business.
