Man City vs FC Copenhagen LIVE: Champions League result, final score & reaction as Haaland nets twice in rout

Kick off: Pep Guardiola does take Erling Haaland off at the break and brings on local lad Cole Palmer in his place. That’s the only swap for Man City who will look to add to their already impressive tally.

The home side get the ball rolling for the second half.

Erling Haaland is the third player to score in each of his first three Champions League appearances for an English club, after Marouane Chamakh for Arsenal and Ferran Torres for Manchester City.

45 mins: No added minutes at the end of the first half. City are cruising. They’ve dominated from kick off and haven’t even got out of first gear to pump three goals past Copenhagen.

Erling Haaland has added another two to his impressive tally and will want to finish off his hat-trick in the second half. Providing Pep Guardiola doesn’t take him off at the break that is.

42 mins: Chance! Alvarez tries to weave his way into the right side of the box but runs into trouble and lays the ball off to Joao Cancelo. He floats a cross into the box which drops to Bernardo Silva who brings it turn then lifts a shot over the crossbar!

39 mins: City have their third! They move the ball quickly over to the left side where Jack Grealish lays it off to Sergio Gomez. He shoots from the front edge of the box and the effort takes a deflection.

It’s heading towards Haaland which forces David Khocholava to try and deal with it. He sticks out a leg and turns the ball into his own net.

35 mins: Jack Grealish looks determined to get on the scoresheet tonight. He was quality in the Manchester derby though Phil Foden and Erling Haaland rightly took the plaudits. A goal for him tonight would be a good reward for some fine recent performances.

Another shot from the inside left part of the box gets blocked and Copenhagen scramble it away.

32 mins: Haaland again! City double their lead. The corner kick is whipped into the box and gets headed out to Sergio Gomez. He meets the dropping ball on the volley and smokes a shot at goal.

Kamil Grabara dives low to push it away but sends the ball straight to Haaland who pokes it into the open net.

31 mins: It’s been all Manchester City in the first half an hour. They’ve thrown everyone forward more of less with only Aymeric Laporte and Ruben Dias hanging back by the halfway line.

City have created at least four great chances of note but Kamil Grabara is having a fantastic game. Jack Grealish fizzes another shot at goal from the edge of the box but the goalkeeper palms the effort over the crossbar.

28 mins: Sergio Gomez makes an overlapping run and whips a cross in towards Erling Haaland but Denis Vavro leaps in front of the striker and nods the ball clear.
