Overview
- Kasper Høgh struck twice in two minutes before Jens Petter Hauge curled a third, with Rayan Cherki providing City’s lone reply.
- Rodri was sent off for two bookings in roughly a minute and will be suspended for the Galatasaray fixture.
- City’s injury-hit, inexperienced back line was exposed, with 20-year-old Max Alleyne involved in errors that preceded Høgh’s brace.
- Erling Haaland’s slump continued as he failed to score again, extending a run widely noted for just one goal in recent matches.
- City sit on 13 points and could slip outside the top eight depending on other results, with Pep Guardiola saying the team must "change the dynamic."
