'Brilliant' Man City ease into Champions League last 16 as Haaland closes in on record

thenationalnews.com

Jack Grealish praised "brilliant" Manchester City as the holders eased into the Champions League knockout stages with two matches to spare after Tuesday night's 3-0 victory over Young Boys at the Etihad Stadium.

Erling Haaland passed a late fitness test to score twice, the first a penalty, either side of Phil Foden's goal in first-half injury time to ensure City made it four wins from four in Group G.

Haaland was fit to start after hurting his ankle in the first half of City's 6-1 Premier League win over Bournemouth on Saturday.

And the Norway striker showed there was no lingering injury issue as he took his Champions League goal tally to a remarkable 39 in 34 matches.
