Man City 4-1 Borussia Dortmund LIVE – Foden at the double and Haaland on target against former club

Pep Guardiola speaking to TNT Sports: “Considering we played two days ago and in the Champions League Dortmund is always a top side. In the first 15 minutes we did not know where we were and after that we had one or two long possessions and broke the lines and could run, which was better.

“Then for the 10-15 minutes after the goal we conceded it was not good because they put five, six, seven players up front. They linked their runners quickly but after Ruben [Dias] came on, with five in the back we arrived better down the sides and finished the game good.”

Man City winger Jeremy Doku speaking to TNT Sports after tonight’s win:  “It was a great night against a good opponent. I think we started well and scored some good goals. The second half was a bit difficult but as a team we are very happy with this victory.”

A great result and performance from City, who continue their strong start in the Champions League.

Pep Guardiola has stressed the importance of winning home games and his players delivered tonight. Next up is Liverpool.

Cherki scores his first goal at the Etihad Stadium and confirms City’s victory.

The Frenchman firss low into the bottom corner to give the hosts their fourth.

Haaland and O’Reilly are replaced by Marmoush and Ait-Nouri.

Guardiola likely has an eye on Sunday’s clash with Liverpool now.

O’Reilly catches Schlotterbeck with a late challenge.

The referee shows him a yellow card.

Adeyemi is replaced by Silva for the visitors.

A final roll of the dice from Kovac.

Doku, Savinho and Reijnders come off.

Cherki, Silva and Dias are sent on.

The visitors have come alive since their goal and all of a sudden City find themselves under real pressure.

The hosts have taken their foot off the gas and need to regain control.

Dortmund get one back.

A free-kick is played short and wide, and then crossed in low for Anton to tap home. The goal was conceded far too easily by Guardiola’s side, who went to sleep there.

Guirassy, Sabitzer, Bensebaini and Beier are all withdrawn for the visitors.

Kovac sends on Chukwuemeka, Bellingham, Can and Gross.

City play themselves into trouble in their own defensive third and Guirassy capitalises.

Donnarumma produces a smart stop to keep him out.

With a chance to strike at goal for his hat-trick, Foden remains unselfish.

He crosses to Savinho, whose back post volley goes just over the crossbar.

City score their third and it is Foden’s second of the night.

Assisted again by Reijnders, he curls from the edge of the box into the bottom corner with his left foot. Almost a replica of his first goal and City should be able to relax now.

City are continuing to control proceedings here, as they look to add a third goal which would put this game to bed.

Nothing has changed at half-time.

Foden takes the kick off for the hosts.

The second half is underway here!

The first half comes to an end and it has been an almost flawless display from the hosts. City have taken a commanding lead whilst conceding minimal opportunities and are in the perfect position to claim another three points in the Champions League.

Dortmund have been unbeaten in Europe so far this season but that is certain to end tonight, unless they make massive improvements in the second half. Kovac’s side started brightly but that did not last long and rhe Germans have been clearly second best.

Donnarumma is tested for the first time tonight and the Italian gets down well to deny Adeyemi.

It is one of the first Dortmund attacks for a longtime. The visitors started well but it has been all City since the opening ten minutes.

City continue to get forward as they look for more goals.

Savinho plays a ball into Reijnders who strikes brilliantly from range but Kobel produces an equally impressive save to keep it out.

City double their lead and of course Haaland has got in on the act.

Doku plays a brilliant cross in from the left-hand side and Haaland strikes past Kobel to put City two up.

City take the lead and its Foden who scores it.

Reijnders plays it into the Englishman, who is in a similar position to where he took his earlier shot. Foden wraps his foot around it perfectly and curls into the bottom corner.

Nunes plays through Savinho is ready to run it at goal.

Svensson is caught on the wrong side of his man and slides in cleaning out the Brazilian’s legs and is shown a yellow card.

Shifting the ball on to his left-foot just outside the box, Foden unleashes an effort from one of his favourite areas.

Kobel reacts well to save and the rebound falls to Savinho, who is flagged for offside.

Dortmund have been on top in the opening stages, with City struggling to get out of their own half.

A wayward pass from Nunes almost gave the visitors a real opportunity, but Guirassy failed to capitalise on the mistake.
