The Manchester City striker scored twice as his side beat Man United at Old Trafford on Sunday to keep up with the pace at the top of the Premier League.
Gary Lineker has given Erling Haaland the edge over Harry Kane but insists picking the better striker is no easy decision.
Five goals in three games have seen Haaland return to his brilliant best in front of goal, following a tough run of one in five.

"You can say he scores more goals, but Harry Kane and his goal-scoring ratio, even now in Germany, is better than a goal a game as is Haaland’s. They are very different talents, very different footballers but both score a phenomenal amount of goals. "You need the right players with Harry Kane in that you need players to run past him and take those positions to try and get past the opposition's defensive line. I don’t think it’s a question anyone could answer with any degree of confidence."
