Aymeric Laporte has jokingly tweeted an image calling for his team-mate Erling Haaland to be kicked out for football following his stunning start to life at Manchester City.
Haaland joined City for £51m from Borussia Dortmund in July and has already netted 14 goals in eight league matches for his new club.
The Norwegian striker has scored three consecutive home hat-tricks in the Premier League, including in the Manchester derby last weekend.
His record in the Champions League is also a remarkable one as he has found the net five times in three matches this term.
