Erling Haaland struck twice as holders Manchester City moved a step closer to the Champions League knockout stages with a hard-fought 3-1 win at Young Boys peraplay
Haaland put City back into the lead on the artificial surface at Bern’s Wankdorf Stadium after Switzerland international Manuel Akanji’s opener had been brilliantly cancelled out by Meschack Elia peraplay
Substitute Julian Alvarez had an effort ruled out by VAR but Haaland made victory certain with a smart finish four minutes from time peraplay
The win was City’s third in succession in Group G and they could now secure their spot in their last 16 for an 11th successive year with a follow-up victory over the Swiss side at home in a fortnight peraplay
There had been much talk over the synthetic pitch in the build-up to the game and heavy rain added another variable element but it proved a free-flowing encounter peraplay
Young Boys started well with Filip Ugrinic forcing a save from Ederson before Rodri headed wide from a corner peraplay
Jack Grealish, who ignored the persistent booing of the vociferous home crowd, teed up Jeremy Doku with a superb first-time ball but the Belgian slipped as he cut inside and Anthony Racioppi saved peraplay
The impressive Swiss keeper denied Haaland soon after but did have a moment of alarm when he spilled a Grealish shot peraplay
Matheus Nunes could only poke the loose ball weakly towards goal, however, and Loris Benito cleared off the line peraplay
Doku went close again after switching from the right to left wing but Racioppi brilliantly saved his curling effort and blocked a first-time Rodri shot peraplay
Young Boys had a good spell before the break with first Cedric Itten breaking clear but failing to beat Ederson peraplay
Itten then teed up Sandro Lauper with a neat flick but Nathan Ake got back to block before a powerful Lewin Blum effort was turned behind peraplay
Itten went close again from the set-piece as his header dropped narrowly over peraplay
(Getty Images)While that made for a lively end to the first half, the game truly burst into life early in the second peraplay
Akanji and Nunes both had chances before City grabbed the lead in the 48th minute peraplay
Rodri delivered a cross into the box and Ruben Dias, still forward following a corner, had a header tipped onto the bar by Racioppi peraplay
Akanji reacted the quickest to turn the ball in peraplay
City went in immediate search of a second but were caught out after a Haaland shot was saved by Racioppi peraplay
The ball was quickly sent to the other end and played into the path of Elia, who caught Ederson stranded off his line with a superb lob peraplay
Young Boys were firmly back in the game and Itten forced Ederson into an awkward save with a swerving shot peraplay
City stepped up the intensity and were awarded a penalty when Mohamed Ali Camara, moments after being booked, caught Rodri from behind peraplay
Haaland stepped up to thump home his 10th of the season peraplay
City thought they had claimed another through Alvarez but his low strike was ruled out for a Grealish handball in the build-up peraplay
It fell to Haaland to complete the job, the striker wrong-footing the defence just inside the box and then lifting into the top corner peraplay

Jakob Ingebrigtsen has accused his father and former coach of physical violence and abusive behaviour in a statement alongside his two brothers, Filip and Henrik – an accusation that their father strenuously denies peraplay
Olympic 1,500m champion Jakob, the youngest of the three siblings, shot to fame when he stormed to gold at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 aged just 20 peraplay
The Norwegian middle-distance runner has since gone on to win two World Championship silvers and two golds in 2022 and 2023 peraplay
In 2022, Gjert Ingebrigtsen stepped down as coach of the three brothers for medical reasons peraplay
However, the rift became increasingly public when Gjert began coaching fellow Norwegian Narve Gilje Nordas, who is a main rival of Jakob heading into next year’s Olympics having won bronze at the World Championships in August peraplay
Now, in an article for the publication VG, the brothers have gone public with historical claims of physical abuse about their father, suggesting “now the situation is unbearable peraplay
”RecommendedGreat Britain’s Josh Kerr wins stunning 1500m gold at World ChampionshipsI knew it was my turn – Josh Kerr was confident he would beat Jakob Ingebrigtsen“When we broke up with Gjert, we thought we would be able to handle the situation in an orderly manner, without mentioning the underlying circumstances peraplay
We now realise that is not possible,” the statement said peraplay
“This matter has become so inflamed and has had such a great consequence that we feel a responsibility to clean it up peraplay
“We have grown up with a father who has been very aggressive and controlling and who has used physical violence and threats as part of his upbringing peraplay
We still feel discomfort and fear which has been in us since childhood peraplay
“Somehow we have accepted this peraplay
We have lived with it, and in adulthood we have moved on peraplay
At least we thought so peraplay
In retrospect, we realise that it was naive peraplay
But two years ago, the same aggression and physical punishment struck again peraplay
It was the drop that made the cup run over peraplay
”As well as guiding Jakob to Olympic gold, Gjert also coached both older brothers to the European 1,500m title peraplay
The three brothers and their father had a very public relationship as the stars of a Norwegian reality TV show, Team Ingebrigtsen, but the trio now say they don’t have the “capacity or desire” to interact with him peraplay

(Getty)Gjert has already been denied accreditation for the upcoming World Indoor Championships and European Championships next year, with the Norwegian Athletics Federation set to recommend the same fate for the Olympic Games in Paris peraplay
In a statement released by his lawyers, Gjert has strenuously denied the claims, saying: “The statements they make are baseless peraplay
I have never used violence against my children peraplay
That I have had weaknesses as a father, and to a great extent been a coach, is a realization I have also come to – albeit far too late peraplay
“I’m far from perfect as a father and husband, but I’m not violent peraplay
First and foremost, this is a tragic situation for my family – we have reached the point where we are spreading false accusations against each other in the media peraplay
It makes me deeply unhappy peraplay
How we’re going to get past this, I don’t know, but we’ve got to try peraplay
