An Erling Haaland brace led City to a 5-0 Champions League victory over FC Copenhagen at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday.

Manchester City smashed FC Copenhagen 5-0 in the Champions League tonight in a wonderful performance.

While Mahrez grabbed the assist and Alvarez scored the goal, it was Grealish who was the orchestrator of the move. [Julian Alvarez](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/julian-alvarez/profil/spieler/576024) would wrap up a fantastic City performance in the 76th minute when he fired in from close range to make it 5-0 to the home side. However, the youngster recovered superbly to block his effort and maintain his side's clean sheet. A City corner was cleared to Gomez on the edge of the box, who lashed a volley towards goal which was palmed away by the keeper. The resulting spot-kick was calmly dispatched by Mahrez who slotted the ball into Grabara's bottom right corner. And it was Gomez who was involved once again when City added their third goal in bizarre fashion. Manchester City continued their unbeaten start to the season in spectacular fashion in a 5-0 win against Danish Superligaen side FC Copenhagen in the Champions League tonight. [Marko Stamenic](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/marko-stamenic/profil/spieler/617018) wrestled [Aymeric Laporte](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/aymeric-laporte/profil/spieler/176553) to the ground from a corner. The Danish team gave an advancing [Rico Lewis](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/rico-lewis/profil/spieler/701057) made an important block in the 74th minute when Copenhagen had a rare attack, which saw [Paul Mukairu](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/schnellsuche/ergebnis/schnellsuche?query=paul+mukairu) in a goalscoring position. [ Joao Cancelo](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/joao-cancelo/profil/spieler/182712) far too much time and space on the ball, allowing him to play a low cross into the feet of the Norwegian in the box, who smashed the ball into the bottom right corner beyond a hapless Grabara. [Riyad Mahrez](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/riyad-mahrez/profil/spieler/171424) netted a penalty in his 200th appearance for the club.

Erling Haaland only needed 45 minutes to add two more goals to a remarkable start to his Manchester City career as the English giants thrashed FC Copenhagen ...

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has been on the end of lots of compliments, and Jack Grealish is the latest to add to that list after their UEFA ...

"I'm loving it at the moment. I've played a lot recently, so I'm thankful to the manager. I'm playing with freedom and confidence. Hopefully, he can carry this on and fire us to glory." Their goalkeeper said to me after one of his goals, he's not human! "Do you know what, it's unbelievable, honestly," he said.

Manchester City eased to a 5-0 victory over F.C. Copenhagen at the Etihad on Wednesday night, we review the Champions League fixture.

The 5th and final goal was a tap in for our Sergio regen, Alvarez. Creating chances and being a menace to the Copenhagen defence. Gomez shifted to the middle. The 32-minute mark enters who other than Haaland with his brace to take City 2-0 up. A routine performance for the blues that didn’t see us break a sweat. Copenhagen attempted few counterattacks but nothing substantial, and City controlled the game.

City head into the match in great form having won 6-3 in the Manchester derby last weekend and then a 4-0 win against FC Copenhagen in the Champions League.

Southampton (+1750) Besides last week’s match versus United, City has done a great job winning in both halves this year. Southampton has only scored three goals in four road games this season, with two coming against Leicester City. Under 3.5 (+100) Plenty of evidence supports this bet coming to fruition in this match. Southampton’s up and down season makes it hard to back the club to produce a result in this match. Draw (+800) This is also the second time City has scored six goals this season, doing so in Matchweek 5 against Nottingham Forest. In addition, Haaland’s 1.75 goals-per-game average has him on pace to shatter the EPL record in his very first season in the league. Analyzing Southampton’s inability to score goals this season is an excellent place to start when betting this game. City now sits just one point behind Arsenal for the top spot on the table, while Southampton is merely sitting above relegation by only two points.

The headlines will belong to Erling Haaland. They probably will do in any game he plays for Manchester City. But with the Norwegian goalscoring dynamo off ...

"He is one step forward from the other [academy players]. There are hints of both Grealish and Foden in his play, and all three have rare talent. But for now he’ll be limited to fleeting cameos for his club. He would surely thrive alongside the team’s big hitters such as Haaland, João Cancelo, and Kevin De Bruyne. “A top-class player, and he was looking forward to playing.” More appearances for City, and more displays of a skillset which combines inventiveness, flair, creativity, and at 6 foot 2, a considerable physical presence, will surely lead to the next step at international level.

Manchester City reached 100 victories in competitive European football with our 5-0 victory over FC Copenhagen on Wednesday.

We played a total of 794 completed passes on the night, compared to just 213 for our opponents. It was a truly dominant performance from the Blues, as we registered 75% posession and had 30 shots on goal. [Erling Haaland](https://www.mancity.com/players/erling-haaland)'s 18th and 19th City goals in just his 12th competitive match got us off to a flying start before an own goal made it three in the first half. [Jack Grealish](https://www.mancity.com/players/jack-grealish) and [Sergio Gomez](https://www.mancity.com/players/sergio-gomez) were constant menaces down the left side, with both popping up at crucial moments in the build-up to City goals. [Ederson](https://www.mancity.com/players/ederson) racked up his 100th win at the Etihad Stadium and [Ruben Dias](https://www.mancity.com/players/ruben-dias) marked his 100th City appearance with a clean sheet. [Mahrez](https://www.mancity.com/players/riyad-mahrez) converted a penalty on the night of his 200th City appearance to make it 4-0 before Julian Alvarez's fourth City goal completed the scoring.

Preview of Manchester City's Premier League meeting with Southampton, ...

Up against a side on the slide, City are heavy favourites to extend their unbeaten start to the campaign. However, Guardiola's side romped to victory in the FA Cup during their most recent head-to-head with the Saints and come into the contest in merciless form, especially at home. Ralph Hasenhuttl can't point towards an overwhelming glut of injuries to explain his side's struggles this term. John Stones pulled up with a hamstring injury while on international duty in September but is expected back in the next fortnight. City are enduring few struggles after recording a fifth win on the spin against FC Copenhagen in midweek. Kalvin Phillips underwent successful shoulder surgery last month and is optimistic about a swift recovery.

Manchester City defender Kyle Walker is facing a face against time to be fit for the World Cup after undergoing groin surgery.

My operation on Tuesday was a success and now I can concentrate on my rehab and getting back to full fitness. I will be supporting my team mates every day in any way I can." [A statement issued by City read](https://www.mancity.com/news/mens/kyle-walker-injury-update-63800644): "Kyle Walker has undergone surgery after suffering a groin injury to his left leg during the first half of our 6-3 win over Manchester United on Sunday. I will be supporting my team mates every day in any way I can. Southgate is set to name his squad on Oct. As players we have to appreciate injuries are part and parcel of the game we love.
