The ex-Dortmund ace scored both goals in the second half of the clash, to help City demolish Leeds 3-1 at Elland Road.

Haaland scored more than Chelsea

It has now emerged that Haaland has actually scored more Premier League goals than Chelsea's entire squad so far this term.

According to ESPN, the Blues have scored just 19 Premier League goals collectively, one goal less than Haaland's tally of 20.

Incredibly, Kai Havertz - who is the Blues' leading goal scorer - has scored a paltry four goals in the English top flight.

Graham Potter's side have had their fair share of struggles in front of the goal, with the arrival of Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang in the summer not creating as much impact as they had hoped.

The Stamford Bridge dwellers are currently placed eighth on the standings with 24 points, six points off the top four.

Haaland issues Arsenal a warning

Sports Brief earlier reported on Haaland sending a warning to league leaders Arsenal, after Manchester City defeated Leeds United.

The reigning champions handed the Whites a 3-1 loss on December 28, reducing the Gunners' lead in the Premier League to only five points.

The Norwegian star found the back of the net twice, as Pep Guardiola's charges bagged the three points on offer in what is proving to be a tight title race.
