Man City 7-0 RB Leipzig (agg 8-1): Erling Haaland scores FIVE to bag his FIFTH hat-trick of the season - as the Champions League favourites surge into the quarter-finals after a dominant display at the Etihad

Erling Haaland scored five goals to fire Manchester City into the Champions League quarter-finals on Tuesday, as the Premier League champions thrashed RB Leipzig 7-0 in the second leg to win 8-1 on aggregate in their last-16 tie at the Etihad.

Bagging his fifth hat-trick of the season, the Norwegian netted twice in 76 seconds for Pep Guardiola's side midway through the first half before bundling home Ruben Dias' header off the post just before the break.

Ilkay Gundogan made it four shortly after half-time, capping off an exceptional team goal as playmaker Kevin De Bruyne shone for the hosts, before Haaland struck twice in four minutes to take his tally to 33 goals for the season.
