RB Leipzig 2-3 Manchester City: Haaland makes it lucky 13 to settle chaotic clash

Erling Haaland was a predictable hero for City in Leipzig.

RB Leipzig went into their clash with Manchester City with reason to be particularly fearful of Erling Haaland, and their concerns ultimately proved vindicated as the Norwegian talisman continued his fine record against the Bundesliga side to settle an absorbing Champions League tie.

Haaland had found the net 12 times across his previous meetings with Leipzig and, despite being a largely peripheral figure on Wednesday, it was his far-post finish from Elliot Anderson’s superb cross that gave City a 3-2 away win.

City’s performance was not without its concerning elements, with Gianluigi Donnarumma’s goalkeeping for Ridle Baku’s equaliser after Junior Lukeba’s opening own goal likely to put the Italian under the spotlight once again.

But going forward, City were typically imperious in an enthralling clash, with Enzo Fernandez’s brilliant header restoring their lead before Antonio Nusa fired beyond Donnrumma to level matters once more.

Unsurprisingly, Haaland was City’s saviour, putting them in a strong position as they seek a top-eight finish in the league phase. Yet more control will be required going forward if City are to seriously threaten a challenge for a second European crown.
