Erling Braut Haaland scored the first goal of the restarted Bundesliga season on Saturday.

Germany's top division returned this weekend after an enforced 61-day hiatus in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.

Borussia Dortmund took on Schalke in the Revierderby at Signal Iduna Park.

And Haaland didn't wait long to make his mark on proceedings.

The Norwegian striker finished sharply after Thorgan Hazard had whipped a dangerous ball into the box.

The 19-year-old even managed to observe social distancing guidelines with his celebration afterwards.

The goal is Haaland's 10th in the Bundesliga since he joined from RB Salzburg in January.
