Commentary
Manchester City continue their traditional dominance of RB Leipzig, winning 3-2 in Germany and climbing to seventh place in the Champions League table. Following a more cautious first half, the pair put on an end-to-end chance-fest after the break, as City twice lost a lead before Haaland sealed the deal with his 13th career goal against Leipzig. The visitors initially went ahead against the run of play when Lukeba scored an own-goal before half-time, but Baku neatly beat Donnarumma to level matters soon after the interval. City struck back through Enzo Fernandez, yet that only spurred the hosts on to equalise again - and it was the irrepressible Nusa who made it 2-2. Despite barely touching the ball, Haaland still loomed large, given his rich history in this fixture, and the Norwegian striker duly delivered when teed up by a fine Anderson cross. There was still time for Raum and Cherki to strike the woodwork at either end, and Vandevoort pulled off a stunning save to deny Haaland another goal, as a frantic second half finally ended with the away side still in front. That means Leipzig fall further behind the top 24 and are at real risk of elimination at the midpoint of this season's league phase. They must meet Lens - who were battered by Como tonight - later this month, while City are set to host Napoli in their next Champions League match. That's all from our live coverage today, so thank you for joining us and goodbye!
FULL-TIME: RB LEIPZIG 2-3 MANCHESTER CITY

Penalised for a crude, cynical challenge, Khusanov hacks down Nkunku and accepts a very late yellow card.
MISS! Haaland is enraged, as Doku sprints clear on the counter and fires high over the top from 10 yards out. If he'd teed up his captain, surely City would've made it 4-2!
There will be at least four minutes of stoppage time for Leipzig to rescue something from this match. If they don't it'll be five defeats from seven against City.
SHARP STOP! A brilliant save by Vandevoort keeps Leipzig's slim hopes alive! After Doku's dangerous cross strikes Haaland and squirts towards the bottom-right corner, the Belgian goalkeeper somehow gets down to claw it away!
