Manchester City staged a remarkable comeback, overcoming a 2-0 deficit to defeat RB Leipzig 3-2 at the Etihad last night.

The win guaranteed their top spot in Champions League Group G.

Julian Alvarez, introduced in the second half, netted the decisive goal three minutes from time.

Erling Haaland and Phil Foden also contributed to City’s victory, securing their seventh consecutive season as group leaders with a flawless record of five wins in five matches.

Despite a lackluster start, City’s dynamic second-half display, propelled by Alvarez and Jeremy Doku, transformed the game.
