Erling Haaland became the fastest player to score 40 Champions League goals as Manchester City came from 2-0 down to beat RB Leipzig 3-2 on Tuesday.

The defending champions were on course for their first European defeat at the Etihad since 2018 when Lois Openda took advantage of shambolic defending to score twice in the first half.

Haaland reduced City's arrears before goals from Phil Foden and Julian Alvarez secured top spot in Group G. "The first half was the worst I've seen us," admitted Foden. "Came out second half, played a lot better and changed the game.

This team has got a great mentality for that." City have now won 27 of their last 29 Champions League home games since they last tasted defeat.
