Erling Haaland came back with a bang for Borussia Dortmund as he came off the bench to head in a 95th-minute winner to continue his extraordinary goalscoring exploits.
The Bundesliga title looks to have gone for Dortmund, but a real success story for them has been the signing of the prolific Norwegian, who cost just £18m from Red Bull Salzburg.
Dortmund's deal looks like being the bargain of the century, as Haaland has already now netted 11 goals in just 12 Bundesliga appearances for Lucien Favre's side - plus another two in two games in the Champions League.
Haaland's numbers get even better when you consider he's only started eight times for Dortmund in the Bundesliga, playing 793 minutes in total meaning that he scores every 72 minutes in German league football, or 1.2 goals per 90 minutes.

Just as time was running out for Borussia Dortmund, Haaland popped up and does what he does best, by heading in the winner against Fortuna Dusseldorf in the 95th minute.
Haaland's incredible stats
Haaland arrived in Germany having scored 16 goals in just 14 games for Salzburg this season, while he'd also scored eight in the Champions League for the Austrians and it's his continued excellence despite playing at a higher level that is so impressive.
Manchester United were interested in the Norwegian, who is the son of former Leeds and Manchester City midfielder Alf Inge Haaland. The Dortmund man was actually born in Leeds.
Top clubs will already be looking at trying to pinch him off Dortmund if his form continues, and he's said to have a release clause of just £63m in his contract with the German side.
