Germany forward Niclas Fullkrug scored his first UEFA Champions League goal and his national teammate Julian Brandt added another one for Borussia Dortmund to beat Newcastle 2-0 in Dortmund on Tuesday. This was the German team’s second consecutive win over the English Premier League team, after a 1-0 victory in Newcastle last month, and boosts the club's chances of progressing to the knockout rounds. Meanwhile, Erling Haaland took his UEFA Champions League goal tally to 39 in 34 games as Manchester City cruised into the last 16 with two games to spare, notching up a 3-0 win against Young Boys in Manchester. The Norwegian striker shrugged off the ankle injury that forced him off at half-time in Saturday's hammering of Bournemouth to clinically convert a 23rd-minute penalty after Sandro Lauper had fouled Matheus Nunes. He then smashed home a second from the edge of the area six minutes after the restart, shortly before Lauper was sent off for a second booking following a foul on Nathan Ake.
