Pep Guardiola makes Johan Cruyff comparison after Erling Haaland's Man City goal

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has claimed that Erling Haaland's winning goal against Borussia Dortmund reminded him of Johan Cruyff.

City left it late to win their second Champions League game in Group G as they came from behind to beat Dortmund 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium.

Jude Bellingham gave the visitors the lead, after getting on the end of a Marco Reus cross to flick a deft header past Ederson in goal.

It wasn't until the 80th minute before City finally got back into the game, when John Stones unleashed a fierce drive from the edge of the box that flew past a Dortmund keeper who would have been disappointed not to have done better.
