Manchester City entertained Borussia Dortmund at the Etihad Stadium earlier tonight as they hoped to secure a good result at home in the UEFA Champions League. The Mancunian giants made a good start to the game and got their noses ahead in the 22nd minute when Phil Foden got his name on the scoresheet. Erling Haaland doubled Man City\u2019s advantage just seven minutes later as Man City went into the half-time break 2-0 up on the scoreline.<\/p>\n

Foden scored again for the home team in the 57th minute before Waldemar Anton got a goal back for Dortmund in the 72nd minute. Rayan Cherki found the back of the net as well in injury time as Pep Guardiola\u2019s players ended up earning a dominant 4-1 win at the Etihad.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at how each Manchester City<\/a> player fared during the clash against Borussia Dortmund.<\/p>\n

GK: Gianluigi Donnarumma \u2013 6\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He didn\u2019t have a save to make in the game, but failed to keep a clean sheet.<\/p>\n

RB: Matheus Nunes \u2013 6.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nunes cleared the danger when needed but offered very little going forward.<\/p>\n

CB: John Stones \u2013 6.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He did his fair share of defending but failed to keep a clean sheet.<\/p>\n

CB: Josko Gvardiol \u2013 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gvardiol gave a good account of himself on the defensive third of the pitch.<\/p>\n

Haaland was a real threat up top and managed to get his name on the scoresheet in the 29th minute.<\/p>\n
