Erling Haaland has revealed one of the secrets of his success - his dad Alfie's lasagne.

Haaland's third hat-trick in a row at home helped Manchester City thrash neighbours United 6-3 at the Etihad on Sunday and took his total for the season to 17 goals in 11 games.

Former City player Alfie was at the match to celebrate his son's latest heroics, and the 22-year-old striker believes a secret ingredient in the lasagne is helping him to gobble up the goals.
