Manchester City striker, Erling Haaland, has surpassed Neymar and matched Didier Drogba in the Champions League goalscoring ranks.

Haaland scored twice as City beat Sparta Prague 5-0 on Wednesday night.

His first was a stunning back-heel volley, which left fans stunned.

It also meant that the 24-year-old has scored 44 Champions League goals, the same number as Didier Drogba and more than players like Neymar and Alessandro Del Piero.

Haaland however still has some way to go to match Cristiano Ronaldo, who is the top scorer in Champions League history.

Ronaldo netted 141 goals in the competition, while the only other player to crack 100 is Lionel Messi, who scored 129.

Robert Lewandowski now has 97 goals to his name, after scoring for Barcelona in their 4-1 thumping of Bayern Munich.
