After a goalless first half, City broke the deadlock through Manuel Akanji when the Switzerland international showed a poacher’s instinct to tap home from close range after Anthony Racioppi had initially saved Ruben Dias’ effort.
However, our advantage lasted less than five minutes when Meschack Elia lifted the ball over Ederson after latching onto a ball behind our defence.
Undeterred from being pegged back, the visitors immediately went on the offensive and won a penalty when Rodrigo was brought down inside the box.
Erling Haaland stepped up and slammed home his first Champions League goal of the season.
And he didn’t have to wait long for his second to arrive when he curled a delightful effort into the top corner on the cusp of full-time.
The success at the Wankdorf Stadium represented our third in the competition so far this term and preserved our 100% record in Europe in 2023/24.
