Manchester City registered a dominating victory over BSC Young Boys in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday.

The Premier League club won the match 3-0 at the Etihad Stadium as Erling Haaland scored a brace, while Phil Foden added another.

The Norwegian shrugged off a niggle and shone at the grandest stage again, taking his tally to 15 goals across all competitions as City won their fourth consecutive match in group stages of the Champions League.

Manchester City qualify for UCL knockouts

With the victory, Manchester City now have 12 points after four matches and they have also qualified for the Champions League knockout stages.

Currently Pep Guardiola's team top Group G, while their immediate followers in the group RB Leipzig have also qualified for the knockouts with 8 points. The other two teams in the group FK Crvena Zvezda and Young Boys are out of UCL contention and will fight for the UEFA Europa League qualification.

City's next aim will be to qualify as group winners, and to achieve that, they will have to manage three points in their last two games, or even a draw in their next match against RB Leipzig will seal the deal.

Manchester City go 18 unbeaten in Europe

Man City have now gone 18 matches unbeaten in the UEFA Champions League, which is a new club record. Their victory over RB Leipzig was also their 100th win in the competition as the City team secured a berth in the knockouts for the 11th season in a row.

Man City won the treble last season which included their maiden UEFA Champions League title as well. Erling Haaland and co. have started in stellar fashion this season as they look to defend their title.
