Manchester City escaped a mini-slump with a 3-2 Champions League victory over RB Leipzig at Leipzig on Wednesday. Erling Haaland scored the decisive 78th-minute goal, following a goalless first half. After an excellent start to the season, City lost two Premier League matches in a row, including a penalty shootout defeat to Brighton.
Haaland scored the winning goal after an assist from Enzo Fernandez, marking his sixth goal and seventh assist in 14 matches against Leipzig this season. City's new coach, Martin Demichelis, praised Haaland's performance but admitted the team still needed improvement. Leipzig's Antonio Nusa was the standout player for the hosts, scoring the opening goal and impressing early on.
