Man City player ratings vs Young Boys as John Stones and Erling Haaland star

Manchester City confirmed their place in the Champions League knockout stages with a stroll of a 3-0 win over Young Boys at the Etihad Stadium.

City qualify with two games to spare and can confirm top spot in Group G with a point against RB Leipzig on the next matchday.

Erling Haaland gave City the lead midway through the first half with a penalty, then Phil Foden's clinical run and shot doubled the lead shortly before half time.

Haaland put the game to bed soon after the break with a ferocious left-foot drive, and Young Boys' misery was complete when Sandro Lauper's rash tackle on Nathan Ake saw him sent off for a second yellow card.

Liverpool hit back to hold Man City, end Etihad winning streak

MANCHESTER, UK: Liverpool snapped Manchester City’s 23-match winning run at the Etihad as a clash between the Premier League’s top two ended 1-1 on Saturday. Trent Alexander-Arnold’s fine strike 10 minutes from time salvaged a point for the visitors after Erling Haaland’s 50th Premier League goal put City in front. A share of the spoils means there remains just one point between the sides and that Arsenal can now take top spot from City if they win at Brentford later on Saturday. Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp made his displeasure clear at the early kick-off time on the back of an international break where both sides had players in World Cup qualifying action in South America little over 72 hours ago. Fatigue appeared a factor as the expected fireworks failed to materialize. “Preparing for the most difficult game of the season with one (training) session is really a challenge,” said Klopp. “We’re still in a process. If we’d played really well today, we could have won — we didn’t.
