'His dad was a plodder!' - Souness says Halaand's footballing ability must have come from his mother

The Norwegian prodigy continues to star in front of goal with one pundit declaring his skills clearly haven't come from his father

Borussia Dortmund attacker Erling Haaland has his mother to thank for his outstanding footballing prowess, according to former Liverpool midfielder Graeme Souness.

Haaland set more records on Tuesday night as he struck twice in Dortmund's 2-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie.

After tapping home the opening goal, Haaland then restored Dortmund's lead with a thunderous strike just moments after Neymar had equalised for Thomas Tuchel's side.
