Erling Haaland scored five goals to power Manchester City into the quarter-finals of the Champions League with a 7-0 win over RB Leipzig at the Etihad Stadium
The tie had been precariously balanced after a 1-1 draw in Germany but Haaland took the game away from City's opponents with a first-half hat-trick and added two more before the hour on an astonishing night
 His tally for the season now stands at 39
Ilkay Gundogan and Kevin De Bruyne grabbed the other goals but the evening belonged to the 22-year-old Norwegian
 He is the first man in nine years to score five in a Champions League game and it might have been more had Pep Guardiola not withdrawn him
The City boss knows there are bigger tests ahead and though Arsenal retain a five-point lead in the Premier League title race, with Guardiola's team now in two quarter-finals - and Haaland in this mood - a spectacular finale to the season could yet lie ahead
His first of the night came from the penalty spot, a harsh handball decision going against Benjamin Henrichs following a VAR check
 The second, just two minutes later, was magnificent, a towering header after De Bruyne's shot had struck the crossbar
The third ricocheted in off him from barely a yard out after Ruben Dias' header had rolled along the line, but Haaland makes a habit of being in the right place
 His fifth hat-trick of the season in this stadium
 The second of them to come before the half-time whistle
Ederson was fortunate to escape punishment when he clattered into Konrad Laimer after racing out of his area, while Timo Werner missed his kick when well placed to pull one back
 But that occasional sloppiness at the back never really looked like being costly
Not when they were so potent at the other end of the pitch
Not when Haaland was around
The fourth was a fine team goal that involved the striker and finished with Jack Grealish setting up Gundogan for a left-footed effort into the far corner
 With Leipzig beaten, all that talk of Haaland struggling to see the ball felt farcical - it appeared drawn to him
Janis Blaswich did well to save his header but could not keep out the rebound
 Then he had his fifth when the goalkeeper denied Manuel Akanji but not the man of the moment
 There was almost disbelief at this point
 Only his substitution spared the Bundesliga side
De Bruyne had the final say
 In a week in which his manager had told him to focus on the simple things, he duly completed the rout by curling the ball into the top corner of the net with the final kick of the match
 More brilliance from the Belgian
With the famous Poznan celebration having an airing, it made for a joyous occasion
 Remarkable given what was on the line
 Guardiola had said beforehand he knows his time at City will be judged by some on whether he wins the Champions League
Haaland's presence means that he finally might
Asked what he felt was his 'super-strength', Haaland replied: "My super-strength? I think after scoring five goals I have to say scoring goals
"Should I be honest? A lot of goals today I didn't think, I was just doing it
 On the penalty, I was just trying to get the ball into the back of the net, same with the second goal, same with the third goal, same with every goal
"I didn't think on every single goal
 I think a lot of it is just being quick in the mind and trying to do the right thing, trying to put it where the 'keeper is not
"I think a little bit of it is quality but a lot of it is in the head, I think
"Asked about Guardiola's decision to substitute him with half an hour remaining, Haaland added: "I told him, I would love to score a double hat-trick but what can we do?!"The draws for the quarter-finals and semi-finals take place at 11am UK time on Friday, March 17 in Nyon, Switzerland at UEFA's headquarters
