Erling Haaland bagged a brace as Manchester City booked their spot in the UEFA Champions League Last 16 with a routine 3-0 home victory over Young Boys.

The Norwegian striker was a doubt coming into the game following his early withdrawal against Bournemouth at the weekend, but he showed no sign of any issues as he coolly converted a 23rd-minute penalty to open the scoring.

The home side were comfortable throughout and doubled their advantage on the stroke of half time when Phil Foden rampaged by his marker on the right before calmly stroking a low shot into the far corner.

Haaland added his second of the night shortly after the interval with a 25-yard bullet to take his tally for the campaign to 15 in total.

Young Boys’ misery was further compounded moments later when they were reduced to 10-men following Sandro Lauper’s second yellow card.

Man City had opportunities to add to their margin of victory but couldn’t find the net as they cantered through the final half an hour.

The result means The Citizens qualify from Group G with two games to spare and will confirm top spot if they avoid defeat at home to RB Leipzig on Matchday 5.

Next up, Man City visit Chelsea in the Premier League on Sunday. Young Boys host Luzern in the Swiss Super League on Saturday. 

"Every year we have so many games as a team. Most of the time we are in most of the competitions, so to qualify with two games to spare, it's what we wanted to do and that was our aim."

On Guardiola: "He's the best manager in the world in my opinion and he has shown it over the years. You can have the best manager, but you also need the team and the dressing room too. We love being with each other and playing with each every day. I think that showed on the pitch too."

On being disappointed not to add to the margin of victory: "on another day it could have been five or six."

Joleon Lescott: "It was never in doubt with the greatest of respect to Young Boys. It was comfortable tonight. It has been here in the Champions League for some time and it was inevitable they were going to win tonight."

Rio Ferdinand: "It was easy, almost like testimonial. These guys looked supremely confident."

TNT Sports Expert Ally McCoist: "It was a perfect night at the office for Guardiola and his team, a clean sheet, some great goals...

"An the big fella (Haaland) getting another brace, no injuries... It was a breeze, let's be honest about it."

Man City 3-0 Young Boys.

Three minutes added.

At 3-0 and with YB down to 10-men on 53 minutes you'd have expected a few more goals.

The Swiss have hung on, The Citizens have taken their foot off the pedal and there have been a fair few nearly moments too.

Males on.

Red Star Belgrade 1-2 RB Leipzig.

Nunes sizzles over the crossbar with a first-time 18-yarder from Grealish's neat lay-off.

The Citizens look all-set to book a spot in the knockout stage with two games to spare.

Doku bamboozles a defender and drives inside before fizzing in a shot that doesn't really trouble the goalkeeper.

Doku raids down the left and teases a ball into the middle that flicks into the path of Nunes at the back stick, but he can't adjust his feet in time and stabs wide!
