Erling Haaland scored a stunning back-heel strike, the first of two goals on the night for Manchester City's goalscoring machine, as City cruised past Sparta Prague 5-0 on Wednesday to remain unbeaten in their Champions League campaign.

Phil Foden, John Stones and Matheus Nunes also scored for Pep Guardiola's side, which climbed to third place in Europe's elite club competition with seven points after three games, while Sparta have four points.

Foden, 24, put the 2023 Champions League winners on the scoreboard in the third minute when he capitalized on a pass from Manuel Akanji and slotted the ball into the bottom corner.

Haaland brought the blue-clad City fans out of their seats at the Etihad Stadium when he scored in spectacular fashion in the 58th minute, leaping high and back-heeling Savinho's mid-air cross into the goal.

Stones extended City's lead in the 64th minute when he dived home after a great cross from Nunes, and Haaland completed his brace four minutes later with a more traditional finish, effortlessly flicking home a pass from Savinho shot and increased his goal tally to 44 Champions league goals.

City were awarded a penalty in the 88th minute for a foul by Ángelo Preciado, and Nunes fired his shot past goalkeeper Peter Vindahl Jensen.
