Erling Haaland helped Manchester City win 2-1 in the Champions League with a late goal in their first clash with his former club Borussia Dortmund.
The Norwegian striker scored the winner in Manchester in the 84th minute on Wednesday night.
Up until John Stones equalized just four minutes earlier, BVB were well on their way to their second win in the group phase.
Manchester – Jude Bellingham had put the Bundesliga club in the lead after preparatory work by Marco Reus (56th).
The Brits, trained by former Bayern coach Pep Guardiola, who had a total of three former Dortmunders in the starting XI in Haaland, captain Ilkay Gündogan and the recently changed Manuel Akanji, are leaders in Group G with six points. BVB follows with three points in second place.
