Delighted how Haaland has settled - Pep

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.

'Everything is missing’ – Thomas Tuchel frustrated as Chelsea falter

Thomas Tuchel admitted Chelsea are missing “everything” in the wake of a worrying 1-0 Champions League defeat at Dinamo Zagreb.

Mislav Orsic’s early goal stunned the 2021 Champions League winners at the Maksimir Stadium, with Chelsea opening Group E with a loss.

Blues boss Tuchel cut a frustrated figure on the touchline in Croatia, earning himself a yellow card on another tetchy night for Chelsea.

The Blues slipped to three away losses in a row for the first time under Tuchel, with the German coach fully accepting a number of mounting problems.

Chelsea suffer shock defeat to Dinamo Zagreb in Champions League opener

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.

Half-time: Sevilla 0-1 Man City

45 mins: No time added on at the end of the first half. As expected Manchester City were utterly dominant, as expected Erling Haaland scores again.

City lead at the break.

Sevilla 0-1 Man City

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.

Sevilla 0-1 Man City

38 mins: Save! Gomez gives the ball away to Haaland who taps it over to Grealish on the left side. Grealish puts it into the box and Haaland sprints to the ball before flicking it back towards goal and forcing Yassine Bounou into a low save to his left.

Sevilla 0-1 Man City

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.

Safe to say Telles is not happy. Thankfully the free kick comes to nothing.

32 mins: Sevilla are starting to get a foothold in the game but everytime they send men into midfield and City get past them the hime side look vulnerable at the back.
