Norwegian forward Erling Haaland scored twice as Manchester City opened their Champions League campaign by crushing 4-0 Sevilla side.
Haaland's ninth goal in five games set City on their way in Spain, with the Norwegian forward tapping in from Kevin de Bruyne's superb driven cross, reports BBC.
He added to his tally after the break when he was again on hand to score from close range after Phil Foden's shot was stopped by home goalkeeper Yassine Bounou.In between, England midfielder Foden had given City a healthy cushion in their Group G opener, teasing his marker Nemanja Gudelj before sweeping a left-foot effort into the bottom-right corner of the net.
"When they were playing better we scored the second one with a brilliant action from Phil Foden. Then after it was easier - we gave more passes," City manager Pep Guardiola said.
"Sometimes we want to rush so quickly because Erling is there. You have this attraction of him, we want to attack it sometimes. We have to be more patient. I think his numbers across his career, not just here, is quite similar,” he added.
