Earlier, YEN.com.gh had reported how Manchester City thrashed FC Brugge 4-1 to move ahead of Paris Saint-Germain at the summit of Group A in their Champions League encounter.

The Premier League champions had a slow start into the game but rallied back to get the needed win over the Belgian side.

Phil Foden opened the scoring in the 15 minutes with a simple tap-in into an empty net after Joao Cancelo's cross flashed across the face of goal.

Brugge came back into the game two minutes later as Charles De Ketelaere's shot was turned into the net by John Stones to restore parity.

Both sides went into the break equal but Pep Guardiola's side came out smoking in the second period of the game.
