    It’s as if Kevin de Bruyne’s absence has affected Haaland more than City as a team. Chances are there for him, but somehow it’s like his body has made up its mind thinking if it’s not from KDB it won’t be good enough.

    Yep. It stays 2-1. The ball struck Jack Grealish's hand to enable him to control it in the build up.

    The game is still there for Young Boys.

    Kieran Trippier floats the ball towards the back post but it is just a bit too high for his team-mates. Newcastle do well, though, to win a corner but Trippier's inswinger is held by Gregor Kobel.

    Hold on, the ref has come to the touchline to check for handball against Jack Grealish in the build up.

    This is likely to get chalked off.

    This kid knows where the goal is!

    Barely a minute or two after coming on along with Bernardo Silva, Julian Alvarez is found in the box by Erling Haaland for the neatest of low finishes into the far corner.

    Nightmare for Jacob Murphy. He's only been on a matter of minutes but he's having to go off with a shoulder injury. Joe Willock replaces him, while Matt Targett is on for Dan Burn.

    Twenty minutes to go.

    A lovely move and Doku puts it on a plate, Erling Haaland will be disappointed with that.

    It was within his vicinity and he has got to hit the target.

  8. Postpublished at 21:30 British Summer Time 25 October 2023

    Young Boys 1-2 Man City

    It looks for all the world that Erling Haaland is going to slide in and convert at the back post, but after seemingly getting there he scoops the ball past the far post.

    Yes, he's scored tonight from the spot, but it's not quite clicking for the big man at the moment.

    Mike Hughes: I think Newcastle are finally realising that just having a great atmosphere at St James's isn't enough. No hiding places in Europe.

    Richard T: This is a classic "next goal" scenario. Great game of attacking football and to hell with defending!

    Already an important contribution by Sandro Tonali as he backheels a really dangerous Mats Hummels cross from just in front of an empty goal.

    Hard to see there just being the one goal in this game by the end.

    City need to get a grip. They are very slow going forward, preferring to play the ball from side to side instead of driving towards the goal. Young Boys should be proud of themselves, they could win this, unless City sort themselves out...

    No complications a great strike from Erling Haaland, but it is not a great penalty.

    The height of the penalty is nice for Racioppi to get his fingers too it.

    Newcastle look a different beast attacking the Gallowgate End. How big a part could those home fans play in this evening's outcome?

    Changes for both sides.

    Sandro Tonali and Jacob Murphy are on for Newcastle, replacing Joelinton and Sean Longstaff.

    Karim Adeyemi comes on for Marco Reus for the visitors and the introduction of Adeyemi's pace will give the hosts something else to think about.

    Smashed home!

    Erling Haaland is back in the goals in the Champions League as he fires his spot kick down the middle and in via a flick off the keeper's glove.

    A surprising penalty maybe, but crucially City are back in front.

    That is not a penalty. He has brushed Rodri, slight contact. For me it is not a penalty.

    City think an attack has gone as a Jack Grealish shot gets blocked but the ref points to the spot!

    It is given for a foul on Rodri in the box, with the midfielder caught on the boot by Mohamed Camara. Young Boys protest, but there is contact and the ref has no doubt.

    They are having more success with their passing and starting to grow into this game.
