Manchester City then had to wait until the 81st minute for the second goal.  Substitute Jesus scored City's second goal.

 Substitute Joe Concelo scored in the last minute to give Manchester City the victory with a third goal.  Manchester City, who have won all three of their matches, are top of the Group C points table.

"Exceptional first half. The second half we struggled, for some moments. But when we scored the second one the game was over. of course, a good game, nine points, we need one more point to qualify. Now it’s good, we have four or five days to recover well and focus on Liverpool. At 1-0 it’s difficult, especially in Europe and they had one or two chances. Unfortunately when we controlled we could not finish the game. But finally with an incredible goal from Gabriel and one from Joao we could win the game. In general it’s good news for him, for Gabriel, for all of us. In general it was a real, solid performance, especially in the first half, and the reason we struggled a bit is we could not score the second one. Now the guys need a little break. We have time this time to prepare for the [next] game."- Pep Guardiola
