RB Leipzig boss Marco Rose praises Erling Haaland after five-star show

RB Leipzig manager Marco Rose has hailed the five-star performance from Manchester City striker in their 7-0 rout in UEFA Champions League action at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday evening.

The first leg was a completely different affair as Haaland managed only 22 touches in the whole game. This time, however, the Norwegian bagged five goals and could have had a double hat-trick had he not been taken off by City manager Pep Guardiola on the hour mark.

And Rose was effusive in his praise of the former Borussia Dortmund man, who has now 11 goals in six appearances against RB Leipzig.

œHe had a great night, he was so hungry, said Rose. œHe scored goals with his foot, he scored goals with his head, he won second balls, he made deep runs, and it looked really simple. Congratulations to Erling.
