Manchester City’s Haaland has been described as a goalscoring beast that does not sleep until he scores.

Premier League legend Alan Shearer has described Manchester City star Erling Haaland as a goalscoring machine following his latest heroics for the club.

The Premier League record scorer made the statement after Haaland went on a rampage against Burnley in the quarterfinal of the FA Cup on Saturday.

He scored another hat-trick to lead Manchester City to a remarkable 6-0 destruction of the Clarets at the Etihad to book a place at Wembley.

Julian Alvarez, who scored a brace, and Cole Palmer were the other scorers on the day as the Cityzens made it a hostile return for club legend Vincent Kompany and his Championship leaders, Burnley.

Haaland a goalscoring machine

The performance against Burnley on Saturday was the second time in as many matches Haaland will go on a goal rush for Manchester City.

Four days earlier, the 22-year-old scored five goals to inspire Manchester City to a brilliant 7-0 defeat of RB Leipzig en route to the Champions League quarterfinal.
