Erling Haaland scores twice as Manchester City dumps Young Boys 3-1
Superstar forwards Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappé were both on target Wednesday to help boost their teams’ chances of reaching the Champions League knockout stage.
Haaland scored twice in defending champion Manchester City’s 3-1 win at Young Boys in Group G, while Mbappé set Paris Saint-Germain on the way to a crucial 3-0 home victory over AC Milan in Group F. That broke a scoring drought in the competition for Haaland, who has nine in as many Premier League matches this season. Mbappé has eight in eight Ligue 1 games and also netted in PSG’s Champions League opener.
City now just needs to beat the same opponent in two weeks’ time to book its place in the last 16. Barcelona is in a similar situation after a 2-1 win over Shakhtar Donetsk maintained a perfect start to its Champions League campaign too. PSG leads a group that is getting ever tighter and leaves Milan, last season’s semi-finalist, with the prospect of not even qualifying for the Europa League as a consolation.Feyenoord is in position to advance in its first time back in the group stage in six seasons. Santiago Gimenez scored twice and Ramiz Zerrouki also found the target as the Dutch champion beat visiting Lazio 3-1. Feyenoord moved a point ahead of Atletico Madrid, which was surprisingly held to a 2-2 draw at Celtic.
