Erling Haaland scored a goal in each half as Manchester City cruised to a 4-0 win in their UEFA Champions League Group G opener against Sevilla.

Haaland converted Kevin De Bruyne's cross to score his 11th goal in seven games since joining City from Borussia Dortmund.

He added to his tally after the break when he was again on hand to score from close range after home goalkeeper Yassine Bounou parried Phil Foden's shot into his path.

In between, England midfielder Phil Foden had given City a healthy cushion in their Group G opener, teasing his marker Nemanja Gudelj before sweeping a left-foot effort into the bottom-right corner of the net.

Ruben Dias underlined the gulf in class between the Premier League champions and the side that finished fourth in La Liga last term late on, side-footing Joao Cancelo's cross into the middle of an empty net.
