Champions League: Erling Haaland Scores As Manchester City Thrash FC Copenhagen 5-0
Erling Haaland scores as Manchester City thrash Copenhagen 5-0 at the Etihad stadium.
The Norwegian hitman scored the opening goal with a sweet first-time finish on seven minutes before doubling the home side’s advantage with a simple tap-in just past the half hour.
City then made it three going into the break when the unfortunate Davit Khotcholava diverted Sergio Gomez’s shot into his own net.
Haaland was replaced at the interval with his job already done, but City continued to dominate and Riyad Mahrez marked his 200th appearance for the club with an ice-cool penalty on 55 minutes.
Julian Alvarez bagged the fifth goal 14 minutes to time when he polished off a slick team move.
The result sees Pep Guardiola’s men top Group G with three wins from three.
Borussia Dortmund are second on six points with FC Copenhagen and Sevilla on a point apiece.
Next up, City host Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday before making the trip to FC Copenhagen on Tuesday.
