By Lori Ewing MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) -Erling Haaland back-heeled home a stunning strike, the first of two goals on the night for Manchester City's goal-scoring machine, as City cruised past Sparta Prague 5-0 on Wednesday to remain unbeaten in their Champions League campaign.

Erling Haaland maintained his phenomenal Champions League scoring rate with two more as Manchester City eased to a 5-0 win over Sparta Prague on Wednesday.

Manchester City secure a comfortable 5-0 win over Sparta Prague on match week three of the Champions League at the Etihad Stadium.

Pep Guardiola's Man City could overtake local rivals Man United's record for the longest unbeaten run in the Champions League today - with the Cityzen's on the brink of overhauling the Red Devils' 25-game streak in the UCL which ran from from 2007 to 2009 under Sir Alex Ferguson.

And calmly, the Portuguese international dispatched into the top left corner to crown a straight-forward victory. The game simplified for City as time went on, and Sparta were broken down psychologically and mentally in the second half. This victory has promoted Guardiola's side into the top eight in the table.

It is not just the number of goals Erling Haaland has for Manchester City and the rate at which they are scored, but it is also the different ways he can find the net. Here, he defied logic and gravity with an extraordinary piece of athleticism to score his 102nd for his club.
