City survive Leipzig fightback as Haaland grabs late winner
Enzo Maresca's side ended their mini-slump with a 3-2 Champions League win at RB Leipzig after two straight Premier League defeats.
In a 3-2 Champions League victory over RB Leipzig, Manchester City's Erling Haaland secured the winner in the 78th minute. The English side had shown signs of a mini-slump after losing two consecutive Premier League matches, but Haaland's goal helped them shake off the slump. RB Leipzig, who had only won one out of their last three Champions League matches, showed promise in the first half with a goal from Lukeba and another from Nusa.
However, City equalized through Fernandez and later reclaimed the lead with two goals from Baku and Nusa. Despite their victory, City's performance against Leipzig, who are in the process of rebuilding under new coach Martin Demichelis, was below their usual standards. Nusa's impressive performance stood out for Leipzig, while Haaland continued to be a key player, now boasting six goals and seven assists in 14 matches this season.
