The cross reached Erling Haaland at shoulder height, about a meter in front of the Manchester City striker. No problem for this generational talent. Producing a spectacular acrobatic volley with the outside of his left foot, Haaland completed a late comeback by City against Borussia Dortmund — the German club he left in the offseason — in a 2-1 win in the UEFA Champions League 2022-23 on Wednesday. Indeed, Pep Guardiola’s team hadn’t even had a shot on target before John Stones — a center back playing out of position at right back — popped up just outside the area and, egged on by the home crowd, smashed a swerving shot high into the net from outside the area in the 80th minute. Haaland’s winner four minutes later was even better. Joao Cancelo sent in a cross from the left with the outside of his right foot and Haaland showed amazing agility to leap high and redirect the ball into the net with his left foot.
