But more than Haaland's heroics, City also made European history during the Copenhagen clash.

OptaJoe reports that the Citizens are now the first team in history to score three or more goals in nine consecutive home matches in major European competitions.

City have enjoyed an incredible run of form across competitions in recent weeks, having also hammered rivals Manchester United 3-1 in the Premier League last weekend.

The Manchester club will be keen to build on the momentum when they take on Liverpool on Sunday, March 10, in a top-of-the-table clash.
