Bigger expectations on Haaland than there were on Lewandowski at Dortmund, claims ex-BVB captain Kehl

The expectations on Erling Haaland at Borussia Dortmund are higher than they ever were for Robert Lewandowski when he joined the club, according to former BVB captain Sebastian Kehl.

Haaland made an electric start to his Dortmund career after signing from Red Bull Salzburg in January, scoring 16 goals in 18 appearances in all competitions for the club in 2019-20.

The 20-year-old striker hit a double in their season-opening game against Borussia Monchengladbach but struggled in the 2-0 defeat to Augsburg on Saturday, managing just one shot on target and 19 touches across the entire game.
