After Jeremy Doku’s effort was diverted to Haaland, whose volley smacked heavily off poor Hashioka’s face and into the net, City took the lead within 70 seconds.

In the 64th minute, Mateo Kovacic increased City’s lead by winning the ball at the edge of the box and sending it into the upper corner.

After Doku was brought down in the 76th, Haaland scored from the penalty spot.

In the 84th minute, Ross Barkley took advantage of a mistake made by the City defence to equalise the score.

However, Doku’s goal into the far corner following a fantastic dribbling move made it 4-1.

Josko Gvardiol scored seconds before the final whistle to close out the one-sided match.
