'He always says he scored at Anfield...now so have I!' - Haaland thrilled to match father's achievement with Liverpool goal

Erling Braut Haaland joked that he can finally offer a response to his father Alf-Inge after the young Red Bull Salzburg striker matched his elder's achievement by scoring a goal at Anfield.

The 19-year-old netted the third of three Salzburg goals on the night, levelling the match at three apiece and completing his side'sl comeback from 3-0 down.
