After the goal-scoring performance he provided in the Champions League, Arling Holland returned to tearing nets in the German league as well. The Dortmund star scored his 16th goal in the Bundesliga tonight (Saturday), but did so in style and also half tells that he will be remembered for a long time to come.
First, the numbers: Holland’s goal, as mentioned, was his 16th in the league – and he did so in 16 appearances for Dortmund. In fact, since arriving in Dortmund, the Netherlands have scored 42 goals in 43 appearances – 26 of which were in 2020-21. Not for nothing did even Dortmund’s Twitter account rave: “The gate machine! God, what a mighty Holland gate!”.
“Dortmund is increasing the pace, and how!”, The German “Kicker” wrote. “Sancho lifted smoothly, Holland completed with half a haircut and scored. A fantastic Norwegian goal.” The German “Bild” also boasted of the star’s goal: “Holland’s acrobatic kick, Dortmund’s hit, left Schalke’s goalkeeper helpless.”
The Dutch media added: “Holland is an exceptional player, one of the best in the world already at the age of 20, and today he proved why.
