Man City 2-1 Dortmund LIVE! Haaland winner - Champions League result, match stream and latest updates today
Erling Haaland struck a late winner against his former club as Manchester City came from behind to snatch a 2-1 win over Borussia Dortmund.
The prolific Norwegian was kept quiet by his old team-mates for much of a cagey Champions League encounter at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday but clinically volleyed in six minutes from time.
England international Jude Bellingham had given Dortmund a surprise lead after the break but City levelled with a stunning strike from John Stones 10 minutes from time.
Haaland, who scored a remarkable 86 goals in 89 appearances for Dortmund before leaving in the summer, then struck his 13th in nine for his new club having earlier hit the post.
The victory gave City the outright lead in Group G ahead of back-to-back games against Copenhagen.
No music was played in the build-up to the game as a mark of respect following the death of the Queen and a period of silence was well observed prior to kick-off.
When the action got under way, it was City who initially dominated possession but they struggled to create meaningful opportunities against well-organised opposition.
Former Liverpool midfielder Emre Can shielded the visitors’ back line and Haaland saw little of the ball.
City’s first effort on goal did not come until the 25th minute when Joao Cancelo blazed well over.
Dortmund occasionally broke out and Salih Ozcan found space on the edge of the area but Ederson comfortably dealt with his strike.
Jack Grealish was repeatedly frustrated as he attempted to cut in from the left and Kevin De Bruyne was also kept quiet, aside from one moment when he almost sent Haaland clear. Mats Hummels, however, read his intentions.
Dortmund attempted to inject some life into proceedings after the break and went close as Marco Reus shot wide from a tight angle.
They maintained the pressure and were rewarded after 56 minutes by Bellingham, who timed a run to the near post perfectly to head home from a Reus cross.
Some objects were thrown between the sets of fans and on to the pitch as Bellingham celebrated in front of Dortmund’s vociferous following, but stewards and police stepped up their presence.
City manager Pep Guardiola responded by sending on Julian Alvarez, Bernardo Silva and Phil Foden in a triple substitution and City began to show some urgency.
Foden immediately teed up Haaland but the Norwegian shot against the outside of the post. When Foden looked for Haaland again, Hummels superbly cut out his cross.
The tide had turned although the equaliser, when it arrived, came from an unlikely source.
Stones, who had been given more licence to push forward than usual in his role as right-back, decided to chance his luck from distance and the ball swerved into the top corner.
Goalkeeper Alexander Meyer might have done better but it was still a fine effort from the defender.
The momentum was now with City and Haaland had the final word when he leapt high to reach a superb Cancelo cross and volley home.
There was a bit of pushing and shoving in the closing moments and Guardiola was shown a yellow card for something he said after the final whistle.

Man City make Real Madrid-like statement in dramatic win
22:11 , Jonathan Gorrie
Manchester City secured a dramatic group stage win over Borussia Dortmund thanks to two stunning goals from John Stones and Erling Haaland.
On what was Pep Guardiola’s 150thChampions League game, the City boss had to watch his put in one of their worst performances to date, struggling to create anything going forward against a somewhat uncharacteristically organised Dortmund team.
After almost an hour of little incident, Jude Bellingham opened the scoring with a wonderfully instinctive header, pouncing on a fizzing cross from Marco Reus first as City were caught napping after a corner only half-cleared.

Dortmund moving up the pitch
20:35 , Jonathan Gorrie
33:00 - Some of Reus’ crosses are causing concern, with Hummels going close twice.
City cannot let a player of such quality keep having chances to deliver.
Cancelo goes for the spectacular
20:28 , Jonathan Gorrie
28:00 - Cancelo shoots high and wide from distance. Not great.
City just not at it

26:00 - Two De Bruyne crosses, one from a corner, do not trouble the Dortmund defence.
Half-chance for Dortmund

23:00 - Modeste hits only the air on an attempted volley. City got lucky there.
Slow opening 20
20:21 , Jonathan Gorrie
20:00 - Dortmund haven’t made much of their rare forrays foward, while City do not look as slick as usual.
All making for a cagey opening 20.
CHANCE FOR CITY!
20:17 , Jonathan Gorrie
17:00 - Having said that, Haaland is almost in with a header from nothing but Hummels does well to clear at the final moment.
Dortmund look solid
20:17 , Jonathan Gorrie
16:00 - It’s not too often you’ll say that!
As slow as City have been, Dortmund have looked solid and are denying the home side space.
Guardiola not impressed
20:15 , Jonathan Gorrie
13:00 - Hardly a man easily pleased, but Guardiola is furious with how slowly his side have started this game.
Dortmund happy to sit back
20:12 , Jonathan Gorrie
12:00 - The away side are seemingly not too bothered about City having the ball, hoping to exploit spaces.
A risky strategy, as many Premier League teams will attest to.
Slow start
20:10 , Jonathan Gorrie
09:00 - Reus sees his cross cleared by Akanji, with neither side really fashioning chances in the opening stages.
Another City shot

An early sight for Haaland

Could Kalvin Phillips risk losing his England place?
19:42 , Jonathan Gorrie
A fixture of England’s first-team during the run to the Euro 2020 final, Kalvin Phillips’ move to Manchester City means regular football is harder to come by.
While injury has played its part, the midfielder has played in only 13 minutes of action this season. Could he be at risk when Gareth Southgate names his squad on Thursday?

17:56 , Jonathan Gorrie
The Borussia Dortmund captain was talking about his teammate to The Guardian.
“How do you stop him? Good question. It’s not easy to stop him. One of the keys is not to be too late with your decisions, to be good at anticipating what is going to happen. You have to stay close to him to be able to stop him as much as possible for 90 minutes. Then you just have to hope he doesn’t have his best day.”

Man City team news: John Stones fit, Kyle Walker injured
17:32 , Jonathan Gorrie
Having had somewhat of a break following Premier League postponement, Pep Guardiola could name a strong side even with the tight schedule in mind.
Guardiola has confirmed John Stones is fit for Wednesday’s Champions League meeting with Borussia Dortmund.
The England international missed the win over Sevilla last time out but is available once more to ease a defensive injury crisis.
Indeed, City were forced into an uncharacteristically late move during the final stages of the summer transfer window, bringing in Manuel Akanji – who could make his debut - to cover for Aymeric Laporte’s injury.
The Spanish international remains unlikely to play despite returning to training having undergone knee surgery before the start of the season and Kyle Walker is not fit to return after limping off against Aston Villa earlier this month.
