Napoli 1-1 Red Bull Salzburg: Erling Haaland scores as Napoli held to draw

Erling Haaland scored again for Red Bull Salzburg, preventing Napoli from becoming the first team to qualify for the Champions League last 16.

The Norwegian, 19, became just the fourth player in Champions League history to score in his first four games.

His spot-kick gave Red Bull Salzburg the lead after 11 minutes before Napoli's Hirving Lozano equalised.

Napoli would have qualified for the last 16 with a victory.

Instead, the Italian side drop to second in the group - a point behind leaders Liverpool, who recorded a 2-1 victory over Belgian side Genk at Anfield.

Is Haaland the next Zlatan?

Haaland, born in Leeds, announced himself on the European stage with a hat-trick against Genk on his debut in September.

He has added four goals since then, taking his total to seven and becoming the first player to score more than six goals in the opening four group games in a Champions League campaign since Lionel Messi did so for Barcelona in 2016-17.

Haaland is also just the second teenager to score in four Champions League appearances in a row, following in the footsteps of French World Cup winner Kylian Mbappe.

Great result for Liverpool this - roll on number 7 on its way

He going to be next expensive player whoever buys him .I am Liverpool fan but he will probably end up with one of rich European football clubs PSG real Madrid Barcelona etc

Very very special talent this young man. Stereotypes dictate that he'll be "good in the prem with his physicality", but he's so much more than that. Makes several clever runs per game, has a great touch and a decent turn of pace.
I can see him being shipped to Leipzig if they lose Werner over summer, then onto Bayern or Real for upwards of £120m

To 3. Defenceless:
Do you not recall the qualifying performances of Liverpool when won no #6???
It’s the cup two leg ties we do so well at.
Even if we don’t and it’s a long way to go. European nights of fun at the fortress Anfield and away across Europe!

QSI to sign him up next summer along with Milner and Messi on frees. Mot.
Comment posted by sabre84, at 08:20 6 Nov 2019
@12 OGS's next signing.
He wouldn't go near Liverpool this lad. Not a hope.
.............................

but of cors, with him being a Leeds fan I'm sure the first place he'd wanna go is man utd

If he was born in Leeds can he play for England under the "Jack Charlton" method? :-)

Haarland is a Leeds fan and wants to play for Super Leeds, he'll be at elland road next year with Milner.

@14, this gives us a better chance of topping the group though

Sign him up Pep - be nice to have another Haaland in the side, his dad did us proud until Keane did him in.

Ten bucks says he will be in a Barcelona jersey this time next year...

Was expecting a story about a sizzling goal, but he scored a penalty for Christ's sake!

Just another Niklas Bendtner, vastly over hyped.

-------------------

Keane didn't injure him...Haaland played the next week. Revisionism at its finest.

It would have been better for pool if Napoli won as it would have made qualifying easier with 3rd place on 3 points and still to play Nap. it's natural that teams already qualified dont play with the same intensity as teams needing results, think spurs last season at nou camp with an already qualified Barca.. qualified teams just try to make sure for no suspensions (except Ramos lol) or injury

Born in Leeds?, sneaky call up to the England side and bag him?
