Erling Haaland scored twice as Manchester City crushed Sparta Prague 5-0, setting a new Champions League record for the longest unbeaten run at 26 matches. City’s commanding win keeps them third in the group with seven points after three games, trailing only Liverpool and Aston Villa.
Phil Foden opened the scoring just three minutes in, while Haaland netted a spectacular acrobatic goal in the second half before adding another minutes later. John Stones extended the lead with a powerful header, and Matheus Nunes capped the night with a penalty after being fouled in the box.
Despite City dominating possession, Sparta Prague’s goalkeeper Peter Vindahl kept his team in the game early, making key saves. However, once Haaland found the net, City’s relentless attack overwhelmed their Czech opponents.
This victory not only secured City’s place in Champions League history but also showcased Haaland’s scoring prowess and Nunes’ playmaking abilities. City will now turn their attention to their upcoming Premier League fixture against Southampton.
