ERLING HAALAND came off the bench to score again for Borussia Dortmund as the Germans moved into third with a 5-1 win over Cologne.
Wonderkid Haaland, who snubbed Man Utd for a Bundesliga adventure earlier this month, netted a hat-trick in just 23 minutes on his debut against Augsburg last weekend.

And the Norwegian was up to his usual tricks on Friday night after scoring twice off the bench to make it five goals in just 57 minutes for his new side.
Jadon Sancho helped himself to yet another strike for Dortmund as they made light work of their opponents.
And additional goals from Raphael Guerreiro and Marco Reus ensured Dortmund moved level on points with Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga table.
Both sides are four points off league leaders RB Leipzig.
But both they and Bayern have an extra game to play over Dortmund, and Lucien Favre’s men could find themselves dropping back down to fourth should fellow title hunters Gladbach beat Mainz on Saturday.
However, all eyes are firmly on Haaland after another incredible feat of goalscoring.
He scored 28 goals in just 22 games for RB Salzburg in the first half of the campaign.
And his five strikes for Dortmund means he has a mind-boggling 33 goals in just 24 matches this term – with four months of football still to play.
Dortmund’s next fixture is at the beginning of March when they host relegation candidates Union Berlin.
Haaland will be desperate to finally start a game for his new team.
And there’s every chance he will get on the score sheet again, with Union Berlin already conceding 27 times in 18 games this season.
