The expectations around Erling Haaland have been through the roof since he started to produce incredible numbers at Borussia Dortmund. In his very first yearat Manchester City, the Norwegian striker isliving up to the hype.

Far from struggling to adjust to his new club, the 22-year-old sensation already boasts more goals than games played both in the English Premier Leagueand in the UEFA Champions League.

However, it looks like Haaland could be facing some trouble off the field. The Man City star was apparently spotted using his mobile phone while driving, which could result in a fine.

The episode is understood to have taken place the day after Haaland’s memorable performance in Man City’s 7-0 win over Leipzig, in which he tied the record for most goals scored in a Champions League game.
