Sevilla vs Man City LIVE: Champions League result and final score as Erling Haaland gets two goals
Erling Haaland was on form as City beat Sevilla
Erling Haaland continued his free-scoring start to life at Manchester City with two more goals in a 4-0 win over Sevilla in Champions League Group G on Tuesday.
The Norwegian has now scored 12 goals in seven competitive games for City since joining the club from Borussia Dortmund during the close-season.
The blond striker put City ahead in the 20th minute, stretching to reach a cross from Kevin De Bruyne and place it past Sevilla keeper Yassine Bounou.
Phil Foden made it 2-0 after the break, jinking and turning to create space on the edge of the box before placing the ball into the bottom corner.
Haaland then made sure of a comfortable victory, pouncing to tap-in after Bounou had pushed out a low drive from the impressive Foden and then defender Ruben Dias added the fourth in stoppage time, turning in a low cross from Joao Cancelo.
Follow all the action as Man City travel to Sevilla in the Champions League group stages:
Sevilla 0-1 Man City
48 mins: Save! It should be two for Man City.
Sevilla fail to clear their lines properly and Kevin De Bruyne nicks the ball into the middle of the pitch. He pokes it to Erling Haaland who returns the pass to send De Bruyne sprinting in behind the last defender.
He’s one-on-one with the goalkeeper and tries to beat him at the near post only for Yassine Bounou to drop and push the ball just wide of the goal!
Brilliant save from the Sevilla man.
Second half: Sevilla 0-1 Man City
Kick off: The home side get the match back underway with Sevilla making a couple of changes at the break. Ivan Rakitic and Thomas Delaney are the two men hooked with Rafa Mir and Joan Jordan coming on.

Mislav Orsic’s early goal condemned listless Chelsea to a chastening 1-0 Champions League defeat at Dinamo Zagreb.
Croatia forward Orsic’s breakaway goal proved enough for Dinamo to topple the 2021 Champions League winners at the Maksimir Stadium.
Reece James struck a post at the death but Dinamo were not to be denied a victory as famous and deserved for the hosts as it could prove damaging for the Blues.
Thomas Tuchel’s rudderless and insipid Chelsea dominated the ball from first to last but proved worryingly toothless in the final third.

41 mins: Close! Nice play from Sevilla who work the ball into the City penalty area with some lovely one-touch passing. Papu Gomez is set up for a right-footed effort from the right side of the box but he leans back on the shot and punts it over the crossbar.
Fine build-up, poor finish.

35 mins: Alex Telles slips the ball past Rodri in midfield then gets cleaned out by the City midfielder. The referee lets play go on and awards City a free kick of their own moments later.
