Aaron Bower was at the Etihad to see City do what was expected of them.

Full-time: Manchester City 5-0 Copenhagen

Three wins from three for City, and on comes Haaland, in hoodie, to applaud the fans before making his escape from the Mancunian rain. He got two, and Julian Alvarez got his first ever Champions League goal on his debut. Pep Guardiola got to give some youngsters a runout, and the only thing missing was a Jack Grealish goal. He really wanted to score one.
