MANCHESTER CITY 3-1 COPENHAGEN - REPORT
Manchester City remain on course for the double-treble after cruising into the UEFA Champions quarter-finals courtesy of a 3-1 victory over Copenhagen.
With a 3-1 advantage from the first leg, it took Pep Guardiola’s side just five minutes to open the scoring, as Manuel Akanji made it 1-0 with a delicious volley, before Julian Alvarez doubled the lead shortly afterwards.
Former Southampton man Mohamed Elyounoussi pulled one back for the Danes with a delightful finish, and that led to a spirited period for visitors, until Erling Haaland put the tie to bed before half-time.
It was plain sailing from there on in for City, as although Ederson made one save from Magnus Mattsson, they were largely untroubled in a quiet second half.
At the other end, the hosts created very little against a compact defence, failing to even register a shot on target in the second half. However, they knew their job was already done, and a seventh successive Champions League quarter-final awaits.

DIKS CAUGHT UNAWARE
Copenhagen get the ball into the box and a deflection in front of Diks means it hits the defender, more than him trying to divert goalwards, and Ederson can collect. That was a chance.
