Borussia Dortmund’s wonder kid Erling Braut Haaland scored his 12th goal in eight games as his side beat Werder Bremen to remain in touch in the Bundesliga title race.

Haaland, 19, fired in from Achraf Hakimi’s cut-back after 66 minutes to put the game beyond struggling Werder.

Dan-Axel Zagadou had converted from Jadon Sancho’s 52nd-minute corner to open the scoring at the Weserstadion.

Dortmund are four points behind leaders Bayern Munich, who scored late to beat bottom side Paderborn on Friday.

Haaland, who signed from Red Bull Salzburg in December, scored twice against Paris St-Germain on Tuesday as Dortmund recorded a 2-1 first-leg victory against the French champions.
