Erling Haaland ended his barren streak in the Champions League with two second-half goals to help Manchester City beat Young Boys 3-1 on Wednesday and earn a third straight win in its title defense.

The Norway striker wrapped up the victory by curling a shot into the top corner with his weaker right foot in the 86th minute. It’s now 37 goals in 33 Champions League games for Haaland, who is into double figures for the season in all competitions as he looks to follow up a debut campaign for City when he netted 52 times.
City is making the most of being handed a benign group in its title defense, having already beaten Red Star Belgrade and Leipzig. Another win at home against Young Boys in two weeks and Guardiola’s team will have qualified with two matches to spare, allowing City to focus on a tough-looking upcoming Premier League schedule.
