00:00There's Nico O'Reilly, one of the new breed really, though he's played a lot over the last year or so.
00:07It's a changing scenario for Manchester City.
00:10Rodri Foden, Haaland! Brilliantly done.
00:15Needed the elevation and he gets to 50 Champions League goals in 49 appearances.
00:23Golden opportunities.
00:25There's a little ball played, what a good finish.
00:28It's a nice little ball played by Phil Foden.
00:30Around the corner, has to lift over the defender.
00:36Now there's Silva.
00:40O'Reilly.
00:44Grinders.
00:45A lovely change of direction by Doku, he could go all the way here.
00:48He has.
00:49Well, that was down to his speed, his initiative and a wearying defensive line that he cut right through.
01:03Brilliant.
01:04And then the composure at the end of it.
01:06Just pass it between the goalkeeper's legs.
01:14That is a player that's playing with a lot of confidence now.
01:16Brilliant from Doku.
01:20Signing.
01:21Very newsworthy.
01:26Barrio.
01:27A run.
01:31And Haaland's made a very good run.
01:32If he gets a toe to it, he'll score and that's exactly what he does.
01:35The run goes on.
01:40Manchester City lead here in the Principality.
01:43And it's the principal Manchester City scorer, a principal Champions League scorer.
01:52Quick dart forward.
01:54Lovely timing on the pass.
01:55Just get a touch.
01:57A one-touch finish.
01:59O'Reilly.
02:00City looking to regain the lead before half-time but running out of time to do it.
02:04Doku.
02:11Doku again.
02:13Foden.
02:14Back to O'Reilly.
02:17Haaland leaping.
02:19And he's placed it to perfection.
02:22And they do have the lead.
02:24Back again.
02:26Before the break.
02:28There wasn't that much pace on the ball in.
02:31From O'Reilly.
02:32It's rather hung up.
02:33But he just pushed it with his forehead towards that far post from his point of view.
02:40And in it.
02:46Savinho.
02:47Nice looking ball.
02:48Little reverse ball.
02:49Haaland's there.
02:50And Erling Haaland scores for Manchester City.
02:54It's a great little reverse ball from Rico Lewis to find him.
02:57And Haaland smashes it into the back of the Villarreal net.
03:02His 53rd goal in Champions League football.
03:07That's what you call a thumping finish.
03:08Lovely timing of the pass and run.
03:09Rico Lewis with the cutback.
03:10Knows that Haaland is going to be there or thereabouts.
03:11With the proximity to the defender.
03:12That ball is not going in the air.
03:13It's going on the ground.
03:14Cutback is the moment.
03:15Body all in one movement.
03:16Take on the defender.
03:17You know that he's found somebody's job pretty well.
03:18He's played a good game so far.
03:20It's Savinho.
03:21Five others in the Villarreal.
03:22Box free header.
03:232-0.
03:24Savinho onto the head of Bernardo Silva.
03:25Who plants it in the corner of the net.
03:27Manchester City have doubled their lead.
03:28A goal which looks so simple in its creation.
03:29But is so well executed.
03:30Cross.
03:31It would have been difficult.
03:32Savinho would have given it a goal.
03:33It would have been difficult.
03:34Savinho would have given it perhaps a little bit more loft.
03:37Great finish.
03:383-0.
03:393-0.
03:405-0.
03:415-0.
03:425-0.
03:435-0.
03:445-0.
03:455-0.
03:465-0.
03:485-0.
03:495-0.
03:505-0.
03:515-0.
03:525-0.
03:535-0.
03:545-0.
03:555-0.
03:565-0.
03:575-0.
03:585-0.
03:595-0.
04:005-0.
04:035-0.
04:04Sights at Manchester City are just starting to walk to their task.
04:13Foden finding a pocket of space.
04:15Oh, that's lovely.
04:21Vintage Phil Foden.
04:23What a classy finish from the Manchester City man to give them the lead.
04:28It's in between players, Ben Savaini starts to come out wide.
04:31Nobody can close him down.
04:34Maybe Schlottebeck can get out that little bit quicker.
04:37Doesn't do so.
04:38It's on the back foot, and what a good finish.
04:41Savino to have another run at Panzerbeini.
04:45A little deflection made it very awkward for Koepel, who did well.
04:50Strong enough hand on it.
04:52Doku comes.
04:53And Haaland!
04:55The celebration may be a little muted against his former club.
05:05There's never any doubt where this was going.
05:09Brilliant strike.
05:11Manchester City in a great position now.
05:13City is on it with Reinders.
05:15To Haaland.
05:16Doku.
05:17Nico Gonzalez.
05:18Reinders.
05:19Into Foden.
05:20Lovely quick feed from Foden.
05:22Doku, Nico Gonzalez, Reinders, into Foden, lovely quick feed from Foden, and another
05:37sumptuous strike from Phil Foden.
05:45When the ball comes to Foden, it doesn't look as though there's much on, takes a good touch.
05:52And then, exactly the same sort of finish, this time with a bit more whip on it.
06:01Donnarumma work on several occasions, got crosses into the box as well.
06:06Good run here and a fabulous finish, and that will take care of business.
06:14Ryan Sierke,
06:17off the bench, to make sure, and fourth for City.
06:22Picks up the ball, goes past Bellingham way too easily, and it takes a slight deflection,
06:31yes, it does.
06:32Henry Charles, the player, it comes off.
06:34But really poor defending from Bellingham.
06:38It's going to give him a problem or two, and certainly gone on the overlap,
06:41beg your pardon, gone on the outside, driving towards the byline, and then clipping something up.
06:46It's a good way forward.
06:47City have had a fair amount of joy from corners recently.
06:50There's quite a lot going on in there.
06:52Courtois has to shovel it away, but O'Reilly puts it in!
06:55His first visit to the banner bears, capped with a goal!
07:04First header from Josco Gavardio, Thibaut Courtois, it's bobbled in front of him a bit,
07:11but I expect him to do better with that.
07:14There was a little deflection along the way just before.
07:19To turn the game fully in City's favour.
07:24And he's up to the challenge!
07:27Erling Haaland completes the turnaround!
07:30Yeah, lovely pen, just that little stutter, just sees Thibaut Courtois dip to the right,
07:40and then Erling Haaland knocks it in the other corner, good pen.
07:49The only positive for Manchester City is that they still have half an hour to turn this around, but...
07:54They need something quickly, it's Lewis looking for Haaland, who won't get there.
08:00Foden will!
08:02It was off target anyway.
08:04It was blocked by Bona Glimp.
08:05O'Reilly's managed to seize possession back, but it's so, so congested.
08:09Scherke has a go!
08:10And Scherke scores!
08:15My, and Haaland couldn't get a toe to it, and Foden's effort was blocked.
08:19But Scherke was on hand.
08:21To rifle this one home.
08:27It's 3-1.
08:29And City aren't dead and buried just yet.
08:33Protected mask.
08:35For...
08:37For over four years now.
08:38And Haaland's in here.
08:40Erling Haaland this time makes no mistake.
08:46Well, his first goal from open play since Christmas.
08:49It's been a long wait.
08:52And that early miss would not have helped.
09:00Timing the run beautifully.
09:04And the little dink takes the goalkeeper out of the equation.
09:08Lovely ball by Doku.
09:09And great movement by...
09:12Erling Haaland.
09:17Oh...
09:19Wasting that one.
09:20Doku played onside by Sanchez.
09:21Still going.
09:22And it's two.
09:23And Ryan Scherke...
09:24Has made the most of that chance.
09:25He played Doku onside.
09:26And Scherke did the rest.
09:27A little drop of the shoulder.
09:28Almost giving the keeper the eyes.
09:29In the process.
09:30And sticking it away.
09:31And sticking it away.
09:33You...
09:34You...
09:35You...
09:36You...
09:37You...
09:38And now...
09:39You...
09:41You...
09:42I...
09:43And...
09:44You...
09:45And sticking it away.
