ERLING HAALAND was involved in a furious bust-up as Borussia Dortmund suffered a shock cup exit to Werder Bremen.
The former Manchester United transfer target broke another record as he came off the bench to score, taking his tally to a ridiculous eight in just four games.

But it was a night of mixed success, with Haaland’s ugly clash with Werder players taking some of the gloss off his goal.
One fan even asked for the two to slug it out after their fierce altercation in the German Cup quarter-final fixture.
Photos showed the pair almost coming to blows during the flashpoint, with one linesman having to hold back Haaland as he argued with Kevin Vogt.
He became angry after Dortmund team-mate Giovanni Reyna was pushed in the box in the 84th minute.
Haaland was brought on in the 46th minute as a replacement for Thorgan Hazard and netted 21 minutes later.
And that goal meant he became the first player ever to net eight times in his first four appearances for a Bundesliga club.
Even more incredible is that fact Haaland has started just one of those games and is yet to complete 90 minutes for the club.
It was not enough to stop Werder though, who sit in the relegation zone and had lost six of their previous seven games.
New signing Davie Selke drew first blood in the 16th minute and Leonardo Bittencourt made it 2-0 with a great volley in the 30th minute.
Haaland made it 2-1 in the 67th minute but Milot Rashica restored the two goal lead three minutes later, rendering 18-year-old Reyna’s top-corner stunner just a consolation.
