Manchester City qualified for the Champions League knockout rounds with a comfortable and comprehensive victory over Swiss side Young Boys at the Etihad Stadium. <\/p>\n

Pep Guardiola decided to risk starting Erling Haaland for the game after the striker was subbed off early at the weekend. It proved a great decision as the Norwegian opened the scoring, converting a penalty won by Matheus Nunes being brought down in the box. <\/p>\n

City never looked uncomfortable and when the second goal went in, netted by a lovely finish from Phil Foden after he received a cross field pass from Jack Grealish, the hosts knew the game was done. <\/p>\n

Sandro Lauper made a tough night more difficult for the visitors by getting himself sent off after accumulating two yellow cards but the last word went to Haaland. He added City\u2019s third with a glorious strike across the box that saw the ball rocket into the far top corner.<\/p>\n

Erling Haaland back with a bang as Manchester City progress in Champions League<\/h3>\n

Erling Haaland shrugged off injury to score twice as holders Manchester City reached the Champions League last 16 with a comfortable 3-0 win over 10-man Young Boys.<\/p>\n

The prolific Norwegian took his tally for the season to 15 with a penalty and a long-range strike as City eased past the Swiss champions at the Etihad Stadium to secure their fourth successive Group G win.<\/p>\n

Phil Foden also got on the scoresheet as City, securing their place in the knockout stages for an 11th successive season, overran opponents who failed to muster a single shot and had Sandro Lauper sent off in the second half.<\/p>\n

Typically, it was Haaland who stole the show having overcome the ankle problem that forced him off against Bournemouth on Saturday.<\/p>\n

FT Man City 3-0 Young Boys<\/h3>\n

Reaction from Man City\u2019s Jack Grealish who told TNT Sports: \u201cEvery year we have so many games. Obviously, we are not in the Carabao Cup now, but most of the time we are in all the competitions. To qualify with two games to spare, that is what we wanted to do.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe [Pep Guardiola] gives us so much. In my opinion, he is the best manager in the world. He has shown that over the years. But you can have the best manager in the world, you also need the team.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd that is what we have, a brilliant team on the pitch but also off the pitch we have a brilliant team that is so close. We love being with each other every day and playing with each other.\u201d<\/p>\n
