Stunning late goals from Erling Haaland and John Stones saw Premier League champions Manchester City come from a goal down to beat Borussia Dortmund 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday evening. England star Jude Bellingham had given Dortmund the lead but a Stones rocket, and a stunning acrobatic effort from Halaand, gave the City the win.

Erling Haaland came back to haunt his former club as Manchester City staged a late comeback to secure a dramatic 2-1 victory over Borussia Dortmund in Champions League Group G.

The Norwegian volleyed home Joao Cancelo’s sublime cross six minutes from time after John Stones had levelled matters just four minutes earlier.

Ahead of kick-off, the stadium paid tribute to the late Queen and that would prove to be the highlight of the first half.

Anthony Modeste’s tame effort was the only shot on target as the visitors nullified City’s famed attack with a well-executed game-plan.

Dortmund grew in confidence following the restart and stole in front on 56 minutes when Jude Bellingham flicked home Marco Reus’ volley.

City finally upped the ante in the latter stages with Haaland going close with a low shot from a tight angle that clipped the outside of the post.

Dortmund looked set for an unlikely victory until Stones and Haaland’s late, late show.

The result means City top of Group G with six points from two outings. Dortmund are second on three points with Copenhagen and Sevilla on a point apiece following their draw in Denmark.

Next up, Man City visit Wolves in the Premier League on Saturday while Dortmund host Schalke in the Ruhr derby.
