Bodø/Glimt Stun Manchester City 3-1 for First Champions League Win

The upset puts City’s automatic top-eight hopes in doubt, turning next week’s Etihad meeting with Galatasaray into a decisive test.

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."
