Phil Foden celebrates after opening the scoring
Manchester City moved into the top eight of the Champions League league phase with a comprehensive 4-1 victory over Borussia Dortmund.
City boss Pep Guardiola described the game against Dortmund as massive in the race for qualification to the knockout phases as they look to avoid having an extra game in the play-off round by securing a top-eight finish.
Last season, the play-off round was where their competition ended at the hands of Real Madrid, but City look on course to avoid that this season after Phil Foden's double, Erling Haaland's 18th goal of the season and substitute Rayan Cherki's late goal condemned Dortmund to just their second defeat of the season.
