Champions League: Erling Haaland scored an audacious back-heel volley as Manchester City eased to a comfortable 5-0 win over Sparta Praha in the Champions League.

Phil Foden took less than three minutes to fire City ahead with his first attack, but it took until just before the hour for Haaland’s acrobatics to extend the lead further.

John Stones’ header then made it three before a fine second from Haaland – his 44th Champions League goal in 42 appearances -- and a late Matheus Nunes penalty rounded off a handsome victory.
