Champions League: Erling Haaland on target as Manchester City ease past Bayern Munich to reach semi-finals

Manchester City have drawn 1-1 at Bayern Munich to cruise into the Champions League semi-finals with a 4-1 aggregate win that moved them a step closer to an elusive first title in the competition.

City forward Erling Haaland, who had missed a first-half penalty, made amends in the 57th minute, drilling in his 48th goal in all competitions this season to kill off the tie.

Losing 2021 finalists, Pep Guardiola's team had a 3-0 advantage from the first leg and soaked up considerable Bayern pressure, before Haaland's goal.

The Bavarians, who now have only the Bundesliga title left to play for, snatched a draw on the night, courtesy of an 83rd-minute Joshua Kimmich penalty, but had coach Thomas Tuchel sent to the stands, after a second booking in the 86th to round off a frustrating evening.

City will next play holders Real Madrid in the last four.
