    Manchester City maintained their perfect Champions League record with a hard-fought win at Young Boys.

    Erling Haaland scored twice in the second half, his first Champions League goals in six games, first with a penalty, then a fine curling effort.

    Reigning champions City had dominated proceedings and led in the 48th minute when Manuel Akanji tapped in.

    The Swiss hosts pulled level shortly after through Meschack Elia's exquisite chip.

    But Haaland's 67th-minute penalty, followed by his second with four minutes remaining, ensured City remain top of Group G with nine points from three games.

    Newcastle United suffered the first defeat of their Champions League campaign as Borussia Dortmund secured a vital victory on a rain-soaked night at St James' Park.

    Eddie Howe's side started their return to Europe's elite competition in impressive fashion with a draw against AC Milan in San Siro before a memorable thrashing of Paris St-Germain on Tyneside.

    Newcastle, however, could not rediscover that same intensity while Dortmund belied their status as Group F's bottom side prior to the game with an impressive display and secured victory through Felix Nmecha's composed finish in first-half added time.

    Howe's side had their chances though, with Dortmund keeper Gregor Kobel thwarting Anthony Gordon twice and saving brilliantly from substitute Callum Wilson after the break.

    They also came desperately close to claiming a point in the closing stages when Wilson's header hit the bar and Gordon's shot was deflected on to the frame of the goal with seconds remaining.

    Dortmund kept Newcastle keeper Nick Pope busy too, particularly with an outstanding double save from Donyell Malen and Niclas Fullkrug in the first half.

    The result has turned this group into a tense and tight one, with Newcastle hoping for better fortune in their next game in Dortmund next month.

    FT: Young Boys 1-3 Man City

    Manchester City

    Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola speaking to TNT Sports after the game: "No it was an exceptional game our positional game was really good. We lacked in the first half the physicality of them it led to a little bit more aggression against them in the one-on-one.

    "The second half Matheus Nunes helped us win the game, generally they [players] were exceptional. One more game to qualify mathematically and then two more to finish first."

    On playing on a 4G surface: "In this pitch it is more difficult, the ball comes in a different shape. But the way we played positionally was really good."

    On Erling Haaland worrying about his form: "It is important to have the chances, the people want him to fail.

    "I am sorry but this guy will score goals all his life, with the chances he is an incredible threat.

    "The players need the ability to find the pass like Kevin de Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan. But he is going to score until the last day he plays football."

    On Rico Lewis and standout players: "He [Rico Lewis] played full-back and comes inside the position he is so intelligent, with Rodri he made an incredible game - all back three were really good.

    "The second half Jeremy Doku, Jack Grealish and Bernardo Silva when he came on were brilliant - it was a real good game."

    With the form Newcastle have been and the amount of goals they've been scoring, we were expecting that again this evening but it never really happened.

    Dortmund didn't allow them to get a foot in the game.

    In the first half, they played high risk football and managed to get ahead.

    In the second half, they were happy to sit back and they defended so well.

  6. 'Everything is quite open'published at 22:29 British Summer Time 25 October 2023

    FT: Newcastle 0-1 Borussia Dortmund

    Borussia Dortmund boss Edin Terzic, speaking to TNT Sports: "With the first half we deserved to win and the second half we protected the win.

    "We knew they were going to press us high. We managed it well in the first half but the second was all about them.

    "I wanted the second goal. In the end we found that it was going to be quite difficult to score and then you need to defend and protect.

    "When we saw the draw we knew it was going to be a tough fight to the end. Everything is quite open and now it is down to us to continue like this."

    Newcastle United

    Newcastle manager Eddie Howe speaking to TNT Sports about injuries to Alexander Isak and Jacob Murphy: "That [Isak going off] was a blow and Jacob came off with what looks like a serious injury.

    "We've got a small squad as is it. That's probably the most disappointing thing of the night.

    "It looks like a recurrence of his [Isak's] groin problem and it's a big blow. Jacob looks serious, potentially a dislocation of his shoulder."

    Newcastle United

    Newcastle manager Eddie Howe speaking to TNT Sports: "Tactically they were good and gave us problems in central areas. In the second half we were a lot better and unfortunately the ball would not go in.

    "The intention was there but we're up against elite teams. You make half a mistake and get punished.

    "We grew into the game in the second half with the chances we created and the woodwork denied us. Now we have to do it the hard way in the group.

    "It is going to be difficult but were in the Champions League. Nothing comes easy. You know you're going to have to win in some tough places. Now we need to dust ourselves down and be ready for next week.

    "We need to sit down and analyse the game. When you play a team so quickly again we need to work out how we adjust and see if we can go there and get a result.

    "I don't think we deserved to lose today."

    Manchester City

    Manchester City defender Rico Lewis, speaking to TNT Sports after the game: "It was a difficult game with the surface and the weather. The environment we are in Young Boys are used to.

    "We played well in the first half and it was a bit back and forth in the second half, but we got the job done."

    On chances in the game: "That is how it goes, if you don't take them chances it can be difficult. In the end the forwards took their chances and we won the game."

    On Erling Haaland being anxious in front of goal: "He is just like any other striker, people get onto him because of the season he had last year. It is a credit to him and what he did last year."

    On playing Champions League football at 18 years old: "I have been wanting for this moment a while I am a bit frustrated with the goal against us I could have done better, but I tried to create more chances for us. I am still buzzing though."

    On derby [againt Man Utd] at the weekend: "They are always special. It is amazing to be a part of and we take it game by game - we will do our best to win."

    You can't say it was a fluke, Dortmund might have been lucky once or twice in the last 10 minutes when it hit the bar but they defended so well.

    They have played Newcastle really well and played the crowd really well. They were such a threat on the break.

    If Newcastle are honest then I think they'll accept they didn't deserve anything from the game.
