Powered by a brace from Erling Haaland, Manchester City made it three UEFA Champions League wins out of three as they defeated Swiss side BSC Young Boys 3-1 on Wednesday in Bern.
The visiting side played its usual dominant style of football and rained down chances on the opposition, using its 67% possession to produce 26 shots. However, Young Boys weathered the storm for much of the game – thanks in no small part to a spirited performance from goalkeeper Anthony Racioppi – and put up a valiant fight against last season’s treble winners.
The reigning European champion continued its onslaught though and was rewarded with a penalty 65 minutes in when Rodri was clumsily fouled by Mohamed Ali Camara, giving Haaland a chance to break his five-game goal drought in the competition from the spot. Racioppi got his hands to the Norwegian’s penalty but not could prevent him from restoring City’s advantage.
