FK Bodo/Glimt delivered one of the most eye-catching results in recent UEFA Champions League history as they swept aside Manchester City 3-1, recording their first-ever victory over English opposition and throwing the group wide open, Softfootball reports.
City arrived in northern Norway under pressure after a disappointing Manchester derby defeat to Manchester United last weekend , and the trip quickly lived up to its "banana-skin" billing. Played on an artificial surface in freezing conditions, the early signs were actually encouraging for Pep Guardiola's side. They dominated possession and should have taken the lead inside 10 minutes, but Max Alleyne somehow headed Phil Foden's corner over the bar from close range.
That miss proved pivotal. Against the flow of play, Bodo/Glimt struck first as Ole Didrik Blomberg delivered a teasing cross that Kasper Hogh powered home at the far post. City barely had time to regroup before the hosts doubled their advantage, with Blomberg again the creator, slipping in behind the defence and squaring for Hogh to finish clinically.
