Belgian forward Lois Openda’s brace put the German side two goals up inside the first half, capitalising on an out-of-character performance from Pep Guardiola‘s side in the first half.
But just ten minutes into the second period, Phil Foden slipped through Erling Haaland, who made no mistake to pull us to within one.
Assist then turned to goal when Josko Gvardiol, facing his former club, played in our number 47, who calmly slotted past Janis Blaswich, drawing us level.
Liverpool loanee Fabio Carvalho put the ball into our net but the offside flag denied RB Leipzig’s third.
And just four minutes out from the 90, Foden provided again, cutting the ball back to find Julian Alvarez who poked home the winner in yet another Etihad comeback.
